​Indiana, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is alerting motorists to upcoming milling and paving beginning May 1, 2023 along Oakland Avenue (State Route 286) in White Township, Indiana County.

May 1 through May 5, 6:30 AM to 8:30 PM, between the U.S. Route 422 interchange to Indian Springs Road, crews will be milling and paving the first coat in both directions.  Motorists should expect rotating lane closures and flaggers along the route to direct traffic at intersections.

Work is weather dependent.  Motorists should be alert for slowed traffic in this area and may experience delays. 

The work is part of the $19.83 million State Route 286/U.S. Route 422 widening and resurfacing project which includes the widening of State Route 286 and the U.S. Route 422 interchange, replacement of the bridge over McCarthy Run, and the installation of sidewalks along State Route 286. Other work includes drainage and guide rail upgrades and traffic signal replacements.

The project is estimated to be completed in December 2023.
