QuoteWork on the Route 6 Reconstruction Project is working into the final phase as traffic transitions to the new lanes later this month.

Traffic is expected to start using the reconstructed lanes of Route 6 on July 21, 2025, weather permitting. Drivers are reminded that the roadway will be one lane in each direction.

In Phase 3 of the project work will include updates to the intersection with Bessmer Street and Reynolds Avenue.

The temporary signal near Service Road and Meadville Forging Company in West Mead Township will remain in place but will only be used as needed to complete work.

Drivers should be alert for traffic pattern changes, lane restrictions controlled by flaggers and other short-term detours on Stan Road and Reynolds Avenue.

The project started in August 2024 and is on schedule for completion in fall 2025.

The contractor is Glenn O. Hawbaker, Inc. of State College, PA. The contract cost is $16,616,006, which is to be paid with a combination of federal and state funds.
