UPDATE (9/7/21):
The Boyce-Mayview intersection, including the Mayview Road closure, is expected to reopen to traffic by the end of October 2021, staying open during the late fall and winter. However, flaggers will direct alternating, one-lane traffic as needed to complete utility work.
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) District 11 expects to resume major road work sometime in Spring 2022, with complete closures of Boyce Road and Mayview Road, in order to replace a culvert, add turning lanes and make other improvements.
Due to unforeseen issues with utility line relocations, PennDOT is not able to complete the Boyce-Mayview intersection improvement project this year as originally planned.
PennDOT is working with the project contractor to restore the impacted portions of Mayview and Boyce to a safe condition and reopen the roads to their previous configuration.
Flaggers will direct alternating, single-lane traffic while utility work is completed.
