PennDOT set to start signal upgrades, light-timing changes in downtown Greensburg
PennDOT crews will begin traffic light upgrades and measures to lessen congestion in downtown Greensburg beginning Monday.
Signal upgrades and congestion management for sections of Main Street, East and West Otterman Street, Humphrey Street and Pittsburgh Street will include the replacement of 10 traffic lights, seven light upgrades, light coordination and timing changes, updated pavement markings and curb-cut replacements.
The project comes on the heels of fresh paving work completed last summer on Pittsburgh and Otterman streets.
Crews will work on site layout during daytime work hours, with construction occurring at night. Construction equipment will also be staged along side travel lanes.
“Work on this project will be in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and state Department of Health guidance as well as a project-specific covid-19 safety plan,” PennDOT officials wrote in a news release.
The plan includes protocols for social distancing, face coverings, personal and job-site cleaning, access to the job site and other related training.
