Pavement Preservation Work on Route 271 Taking Place in Cambria County

06/01/2023

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) today announced that A. Liberoni Inc., of Plum, began pavement preservation work on Wednesday, May 31, 2023, on a stretch of Route 271 in the City of Johnstown and Southmont Borough, Cambria County.

The contractor currently is milling and resurfacing the section of Route 271 from Haynes Street to Susan Drive under daylight flagging operations.  Delays of approximately 10 minutes are expected and motorists should plan ahead, giving themselves extra time to arrive at their destinations. They also are cautioned to drive slowly and pay close attention to people and equipment moving throughout the work zone. This two-mile stretch is expected to be completed by June 19. Work on the section from Susan Drive to Woodmont Road will begin later in June and should be completed by the end of August 2023.

The overall project involves pavement upgrades on 9.25 miles of Route 271 from Woodmont Road in Upper Yoder Township to Route 3037 (William Penn Avenue) in East Taylor Township.

All work on this approximately $7 million project is expected to be completed by the end of September 2023 and is weather dependent.
