    April 21, 2025

    The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is informing motorists of the closure and detour of East 25th Avenue in the Wehnwood Section of Altoona, Blair County, beginning Friday, April 25, 2025.

    East 25th Avenue will be closed between Juniata Gap Road and Broadway Avenue for a bridge rehabilitation project until May 30, 2025. A detour will use Juniata Gap Road to East Wopsononock Avenue to Broadway Avenue back to East 25th Avenue.

    When needed, contractors will conduct work under daylight flagging, with the potential for traffic delays not to exceed 15 minutes.
