Beginning today, traffic to be slowed by road work around region


Published: Wednesday, August 20, 2008 8:34 AM EDT
A PennDOT contractor, Surface Preparation Technologies, Inc. is starting work today on a milled rumble strip contract, to take place along various state highways in Bradford, Sullivan and seven other north central counties.

The project includes construction of milled blacktop center line rumble strips, milled edge line rumble strips, milled bicycle-tolerable shoulder rumble strips and pavement markings.

There will be a slow-moving traffic work zone pattern, with flaggers, a PennDOT spokesman said, adding, “Please obey the signing and the flaggers.”

All work under this $416,000 safety improvement contract is scheduled to be completed by early November.


Here’s a list of the routes and their locations within PennDOT District 3-0.

" Why is PennDot spending money on noise makers like rumble strips?
They are not needed on the entire route from Wysox to NY state line. Only on the sharper curves. Rumble strips cause noise for the people living next to the roadway and probably will cause potholes in a couple years. "
