The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is advising motorists to expect delays from Monday, April 14, to Friday, April 25, 2025, on Route 219 between Carrolltown and Northern Cambria Borough, Cambria County.
Project contractors will be performing drainage upgrades as well as setting signs for future work to be done on Ditter's Curve in Northern Cambria Borough. The work is weather dependent.
From April to August, motorists can expect delays near Ditter’s Curve on Route 219 in Northern Cambria Borough while geometric curve improvements are being performed. Geometric curve improvements enhance safety and traffic flow by addressing issues like sight distance, curve sharpness, and superelevation, often involving flattening curves, widening lanes, and adding transitions.
Contractors will conduct work under daylight flagging, with the potential for traffic delays not to exceed 15 minutes. The work is weather dependent.
Quaker Sales, Inc., Johnstown, PA, is the contractor for the $5,199,141.47 project, slated for completion in the 2025 construction season, which includes resurfacing, base repairs, guide rail and drainage upgrades, traffic signal replacements, and geometric curve improvements on Route 219.
As always, PennDOT stresses extra caution in all work zones. Motorists should drive slowly, eliminate all distractions, and stay alert for direction from advanced signage and flaggers.
