From staff reports
A project to replace roadway reflectors throughout the Northwest Region is scheduled to begin next week, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.
The raised pavement markers are a safety device placed along the yellow centerlines and white edge lines to help motorists’ visibility in low-light conditions. The markers also create an audible rumble when struck by a vehicle’s tires to alert motorists of a lane departure.
The project includes the following tentative schedule, weather permitting:
Motorists could encounter moving operations or lane restrictions with traffic controlled by flaggers. Drivers should anticipate potential travel delays during active work hours.
The contractor is Green Acres Contracting Co Inc., of Scottsdale. The contract cost is $217,420 and is to be paid entirely with federal funds.
