PennDOT to host public meeting for St. Mary’s project

ELK COUNTY, Pa. (WTAJ) — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) will be hosting an open house to inform the public about an upcoming project in St. Marys.

The meeting will take place on Wednesday, May 22, from 6 – 8 p.m. and will be about a Route 120 connector road project. The meeting will take place at the St. Marys City Hall (11 Lafayette Street).

The venue for this meeting is accessible to persons with disabilities.

The purpose of the meeting is to provide the public an opportunity to review and comment on the proposed project, which will create a connector road that will route eastbound traffic on State/Brusselles Street (Route 120) around the area of downtown known as “The Diamond.”

In addition to the construction of the new roadway, the project will also include the installation of a new sidewalk, stormwater drainage improvements and traffic signal upgrades.
