The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) today announced that George S. Hann & Sons, of Fort Littleton, PA, will begin removal of two existing box culverts over Dalton Run and O'Connor Run on Route 271 (Menoher Boulevard), on Monday, July 24, 2023, in Upper Yoder Township, Cambria County.

On Monday, the contractor will place a detour at both ends of the work area along Route 271 (Menoher Boulevard) that will follow Route 711 to Route 56 back to Route 271 (Menoher Boulevard). Traffic moving in the opposite direction will follow this same route in reverse. The 44-mile detour will be operational until August 7, 2023.

Work being performed at this time includes culvert repairs, placement of precast concrete slabs, footings, joint repairs, guide rail upgrades and other miscellaneous construction.

Motorists should allow additional time to reach their destinations when traveling the detoured route.

The $718,621.02 project is not weather dependent and is expected to be completed by August 7, 2023.
