3-Day Detour Coming on Winslow Hill Project in Elk County
As work continues in Benezette, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is alerting area motorists to a detour coming soon on the Winslow Hill Road (T-520) project in Elk County.
June 6, 7, and 8, Winslow Hill Road (T-520) will be closed so that work to install an elliptical culvert pipe can take place. Once the pipe is in place, the detour will be lifted and remaining work will be done under daylight, roadway flagging.
The detour will follow Route 555. Access to the Elk Visitors Center will be maintained on the Benezette side. Access to the Blue Sky area will be maintained on the Grant side of Winslow Hill Road.
Overall, the 5.6 mile project includes roadway widening and reconstruction, improvements of roadway shoulders to enhance pedestrian movements, emergency vehicle accommodation, drainage, and guide rail.
The $2.8 million project will enhance safety for residents and tourists—particularly during elk viewing season. Glenn O. Hawbaker, Inc. is the contractor on this local project. Project updates can be found at Winslow Hill Road (pa.gov).
