A nearly 3 year long PennDot construction project encompassing East Wylie Avenue, Allison Avenue and Jefferson Avenue and State routes 18 and 844 is slated to begin in April of 2020. Drainage, road widening and reconstruction plus the replacement of 3 traffic signals and the addition of two more will certainly have city residents looking for alternative routes. No cost for the project has been identified but PennDot Transportation Planning Manager Angela Saunders states that 80% of the funding will come from the federal government and the other 20% will be paid from multimodal funds from the state. The project is set to go out for bid and once construction begins, PennDot expects the project to last two and a half construction seasons. Barring any delays, construction will be complete in the spring of 2022.
