Update for Route 255 Roadwork
ST. MARYS – Work to improve Route 255 in Fox Township and St Marys is underway. The work zone stretches from the Route 948 intersection in Fox Township to the intersection for Tractor Supply. Once the project completes in late summer 2013, travel along this section of Route 255 will be smoother and more efficient. PennDOT will issue regular updates on this project.
Activity the week of July 2 will include work from approximately Greenbriar Drive (T-593) to the intersection at Tractor Supply.
• Changing traffic patterns: The contractor will continue patching the existing concrete pavement at various locations. One lane northbound and one lane southbound will be closed to perform the work. One lane in each direction will remain open to traffic at all times.
• The contractor will place a bituminous leveling course over the existing concrete pavement.
• The contractor will be removing existing guide rail and begin benching existing slopes and placing rock armor.
• Crews will be working on Wednesday, July 4.
• Motorists are advised to watch for slow moving and stopped vehicles through the entire work zone. Traffic congestion may be heavy at times and motorists need to use caution and remain patient.
Overall work includes concrete repair, paving, installation of overhead signage, drainage improvements, concrete curbing, guide rail updates, and pavement markings.
This project is expected to overlap with PennDOT’s other Route 255 project that will begin in 2013. That project will stretch from the Tractor Supply intersection to Route 120 in downtown St Marys. All work is weather and schedule dependent. New Enterprise Stone & Lime Company, Inc. is the contractor on this $6.3 million project.
