Repaving project planned for Route 21 in western Greene County
Motorists who take Route 21 between Rutan and Wind Ridge might want to include some extra time in their travel schedules for possible delays that may result from a highway repaving project expected to begin next month.
On April 3, a contractor for the state Department of Transportation will begin work repaving an 8-mile section of the road from Scott Run Road, just east of Rutan, in Center Township, to Wind Ridge in Richhill Township.
No detours are planned for the project, PennDOT spokeswoman Valerie Petersen said.
“There will be some single-lane, alternating traffic, as needed, with flaggers,” she said.
The contractor, Golden Eagle Construction, will be milling the road surface, completing base repairs and repaving the road surface.
Work will be conducted during the daylight hours, weather permitting.
The $3.17 million paving project is expected to be completed by the end of June, Petersen said.
