The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is presently developing plans for a project to improve and upgrade several bridges and sections of roadway along U.S. 219 from U.S. 30 to North Somerset in Jenner, Lincoln, Quemahoning, and Somerset townships, Somerset County.

The project will involve resurfacing parts of U.S. 219 and ramps at the Route 601 and U.S. 30 interchanges. Also planned is the replacement of the dual bridges that carry U.S. 219 over T-685 (Miller Road) and preservation work on 10 other bridges along U.S. 219.

Detours are planned for the replacement work on the dual bridges over T-685 (Miller Road) and for the work that will be done on the bridges that carry Route 4102 (Sechler Road) and Route 4104 (Critchfield Road) over U.S. 219.

The purpose of this meeting is to provide the public an opportunity to review and comment on the proposed project. Representatives from PennDOT will be available to answer questions and receive comments regarding the project. The comments of all individuals, groups or organizations are welcome. Anyone with knowledge of historic resources in the project area should attend the meeting.

The meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, August 23, 2023, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM at the Somerset Township Municipal Building, 2209 North Center Avenue, Somerset, PA 15501.

The Plans Display location is ADA accessible and any person requiring special assistance is asked to contact the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation prior to the meeting.
