CLARION, Pa. — State Route (SR) 68 will be restricted to a single lane using short-term flagging setups Monday through Thursday from 8:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. beginning April 1 for the first stage of the Dolby Street Intersection project.

This Phase One work will consist of water and sewer line installation, installation of environmental controls, and project drainage.  This first phase is expected to last through July 2019 at which time the contractor will move to Phase Two which will allow one lane of traffic in each direction through the work site.  Work during Phase Two and Phase Three will be primarily during daylight hours behind guiderail/barrier.  Fridays and Saturdays will be used as make-up days for weather-related delays.

Motorists should slow down and use caution in work zones, and obey flaggers and other traffic control devices. Expect congestion and delays in the project area. Fines are doubled for violations in work zones. Drive responsibly for your safety and the safety of the workers.
