Detour for Patton Township Project Now Slated to Start on Thursday
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is alerting drivers that a detour will be in place for a Patton Township safety improvement project on Bernel Road starting Thursday, May 20. Implementation of the detour was pushed one day due to project needs.
Bernel Road (State Route 3003) will be closed at its intersection with Fox Hill Road (State Route 3005) and an official detour will be in place. The detour uses Fox Hill Road (Route 3005), South Fillmore Road, and Buffalo Run Road (Route 550). The detour will be in effect through at least June 4.
Paving is taking place prior to the detour and has also been pushed due to the schedule change. Paving is now scheduled for today and tomorrow, May 18 and 19. Drivers should anticipate travel delays during the paving, with flagging and alternating traffic patterns in place.
The project started in late summer of 2020 and shut down over the winter. It re-started in April with crews working to realign the current geometry of the two roads into a T-intersection. When work is complete, the stop condition will change from Fox Hill Road to Bernel Road. Work will also include the addition of turn lanes on Bernel Road and Fox Hill Road.
HRI, Inc. of State College is the contractor on this project. All work is weather and schedule dependent.
PennDOT reminds drivers to use caution in and around all work zones, follow official detour signs, obey posted speed limits and always buckle up.
