    Minor Delays Continue on U.S. 219 in Northern Cambria, Cambria County, with Ditter’s Curve Work to Begin April 30

    April 23, 2025

    The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is advising motorists of traffic delays continuing next week on U.S. 219 between Carrolltown and Northern Cambria Borough, Cambria County, including single-lane closures near Ditter’s Curve that begin April 30.

    On Monday, April 28, project contractors will continue drainage upgrades along U.S. 219.

    On Tuesday, April 29, contractors will relocate the waterline at the intersection of U.S. 219 and 24th Street.

    On Wednesday, April 30, motorists can expect delays from lane closures near Ditter’s Curve on U.S. 219 between Barr Avenue and Maple Avenue as work begins on geometric curve improvements. 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 U.S. 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.
