    Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that Gannett Fleming, Inc. will begin collecting traffic data on Route 45 in Harris and Potter townships tomorrow. PennDOT said this work is part of a study announced in January 2024 to address safety concerns identified on Route 45 during the State College Area Connector’s Planning and Environmental Linkages Study.

    Over the coming weeks, Gannett Fleming will be collecting traffic data at the following intersections:

    • Route 45 at Willowbrook Drive/Rockey Ridge Road
    • Route 45 at Route 2006 (Linden Hal Road)
    • Route 45 at 2004 (Cedar Run Road)

    Drivers may also see crews working between Estate Drive and Elks Club Road, Sharer Road and Hidden Lake Drive, Hoot East & West, and between Williams and Tussey roads. Data collection will occur during peak periods between 6:30 AM and 8:30 AM, 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM, and 3:30 PM and 5:30 PM.

    There will be brief periods where flaggers are in the roadway while crews set up equipment. PennDOT expects the traffic impacts from these periods to be minimal.
