PennDOT is alerting motorists of possible longer delays along U.S. Route 322 through Potters Mills from June 17 to 28 as part of the Potters Mills Gap Transportation Project.
Roadway flagging is planned from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each weekday to enforce an alternating traffic pattern along Route 322 between Route 144 and Decker Valley Road. The flagging is necessary for utility relocation work. Delays could be lengthy due to traffic volumes and drivers should consider alternate routes.
When complete, the $82 million project will improve safety, reduce congestion and alleviate access concerns along the section of Route 322 from Centre County/Mifflin County line to west of the Route 322/Route 144 intersection at Potters Mills.
The project, currently in its third and final phase, is reconstructing Route 322 from Sand Mountain Road to Potters Mills, including a new Route 322/Route 144 intersection.
Motorists are encouraged to "Know Before They Go" by checking conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles by visiting www.511PA.com and by following on Twitter @511PAStateCOLL to determine length of delays and potential alternate routes.
Message boards across the region will also feature delay information, including travel times and delay times.
