Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that Route 146 between Clermont and Colegrove in McKean County will be closed during daylight hours for a paving project starting Monday, October 2. This project will improve the ride quality and extend the life of the roadway.

While the road is closed, traffic will follow a detour using Route 6 and Route 46. PennDOT will reopen the road at the end of each workday and anticipates completing the work in less than a week. All work is weather and schedule dependent.

IA Construction Corporation of Franklin, PA, is the contractor on this $4.3 million project.
