The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is advising motorists to expect minor delays on U.S. 219 (Flight 93 Memorial Highway) in Lincoln, Quemahoning and Jenner townships, Somerset County, and a detour of T-626 (Critchfield Road) beginning Monday, April 28, 2025.
The project contractor, New Enterprise Stone and Lime Co., New Enterprise, Pa., will be rehabilitating the T-626 (Critchfield Road) bridge deck, including the application of a Latex Modified Concrete (LMC) overlay. During the process, a detour will divert traffic to Route 601 (Penn Avenue) to Route 4004 (Bicycle Road) to Morris Road (T-548).
Additionally, the project contractor will begin implementing long-term lane closures in both the northbound and southbound passing lanes of U.S. 219 for concrete patching.
The work is part of a 3-year, $25 million project that includes paving, the renovation of multiple bridge-structures, and drainage, guide rail and signage upgrades along five (5) miles of U.S. 219 in Somerset County. The project’s anticipated completion date is November of 2026. The project is weather dependent.
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.
