People will be able to go online starting Tuesday to review PennDOT’s plans for an $8.3 million project along Route 228 in Buffalo and Clinton townships.
The project on Route 228, also known as Ekastown Road, includes improvements such as resurfacing and widening the road from a roundabout at Saxonburg Boulevard to 300 feet north of Sarver Road.
The road now consists of 10-foot-wide lanes and 3-foot-wide shoulders, which will be widened to 11-foot-wide lanes and 4-foot-wide shoulders.
Other upgrades will include improving drainage, signs and pavement markings. PennDOT plans to acquire small strips of land in public rights of way and relocate some utilities.
Construction is expected to start in fall 2023.
To comply with covid-19 mitigation measures, the plans display will be held online only.
The virtual presentation will be available Tuesday through March 9 on the District 10 page of PennDOT’s website. A comment form will allow people to share comments and concerns about the project.
