Work to expand a portion of Route 68 is expected to begin later this year.
PennDOT officials confirmed that construction is set for this spring on Evans City Road.
The project will take place in between Benbrook Road and Stevenson Road.
In addition to widening the road, crews will also be adding a center-left turning lane through that stretch. That includes a slight realignment at the intersection of Route 68 and Stevenson Road—which has been home to a number of accidents over the years.
The $18.7 million project will be done by Glen O. Hawbaker.
The work is expected to be completed in the fall of 2024.
