CORRY — Reconstruction work on Route 77 in Corry will move to a new section next week as part of a $9.8 million multi-year resurfacing project involving several roadways in the city.
Work will shift to the section of Route 77 between First and Third streets. The existing detour for through traffic will remain in place during this phase, which is expected to take approximately three weeks to complete. Once the work is finished, the detour is expected to be lifted.
The posted detour uses Route 77, Route 8, Route 6 and Route 426. Drivers should remain alert for daytime lane restrictions as work continues.
The two-year project will continue as weather permits and includes improvements to more than five miles of roadway in Corry. In addition to Route 77, the work covers West Washington Street, also known as Route 2020, and South Center Street. The project is intended to provide motorists with a smoother driving surface.
In another Erie County update, the truck parking area and weigh-in station at the Pennsylvania Welcome Center along westbound Interstate 90 in North East Township have reopened.
The large-vehicle area had been closed earlier this year while contractors replaced weigh-in-motion sensors and concrete. The welcome center itself remained open during the work.
J.C. Lee Construction and Supply Company Inc. of Petrolia completed the work under a $1,486,580.52 contract funded with state funds.
Meanwhile, a resurfacing project covering more than five miles of Interstate 90 in McKean and Summit townships is nearing completion.
The project includes milling, paving, concrete patching and updated guide rail along 5.2 miles of I-90, from mile marker 18 to mile marker 23. Work began in April, with major nighttime construction scheduled to be completed by the morning of Nov. 2.
Some daytime work will continue through the remainder of next week as crews remove signs and place seed in medians where needed. Minor work, including permanent line painting, is scheduled for 2027.
Lindy Paving of New Galilee is the contractor for the $18,396,593.25 project, which is being funded entirely with federal funds.
