The project includes 9.7 miles of Route 58 (Main St.) from the intersection with Route 19 in Mercer Borough to the intersection with Campbell Drive.
Work will start next week with tree trimming that is expected to be completed by March 31.
The remainder of the project, which includes milling and paving, cleaning and updating ditches, inlets and drainage; guide rail and ADA-compliant curb ramp upgrades, as well as roadway painting and grass planting, will get underway April 1, weather permitting, and is expected to be completed by September.
