PennDOT offers May update for Winslow Hill project

BENEZETTE – With improvement work underway, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is offering an update on the Winslow Hill Road (T-520) project in Benezette. Current work includes cross pipe installations, with underdrain and parallel pipe work planned through spring. Motorists coming through the area should expect short delays, with the potential for roadway flaggers to enforce traffic stops and alternating traffic patterns.

Overall, the 5.6 mile project includes roadway widening and reconstruction, improvements of roadway shoulders to enhance pedestrian movements, emergency vehicle accommodation, drainage, and guide rail.

The $2.8 million project will enhance safety for residents and tourists—particularly during elk viewing season. Glenn O. Hawbaker, Inc. is the contractor on this local project. Project updates can be found at Winslow Hill Road (pa.gov).

Motorists can check conditions on major roadways by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras.

511PA is also available through a smartphone application for iPhone and Android devices, by calling 5-1-1, or by following regional Twitter alerts.
