The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) today announced that its Department force maintenance crews will start slope stabilization work on Monday, July 17, 2023, on a section of Route 994 (Old Plank Road), east of Three Springs in Clay Township, Huntingdon County.

On Monday, a 15-mile detour will be placed for traffic on Route 994 (Old Plank Road) that will follow Route 747 (Church Street/Hill Valley Road) from Three Springs, PA north to Route 2016 (Chester Furnace Road) ending in Rockhill, PA and back to Route 994.

Work on this project will consist of slope remediation at two locations along with tree removal, excavation, rock placement, pavement replacement and guide rail repairs.

The detour is expected to be lifted and overall work completed by August 18, 2023.

This project is weather dependent.
