WARREN, Pa. – Work on the single-lane roundabout at Market Street, Pennsylvania Avenue, and Water Street is expected to move into the fourth and final stage of work next week, according to a release from PennDOT.
On Wednesday, Sept. 13, motorists should be alert for temporary lane restrictions and flaggers at the intersection as paving work is completed on the last portion of the roundabout.
After completing that work the roundabout will be fully open to all traffic.
Drivers should be alert as they approach the intersection and the ongoing work zone areas. PennDOT also reminds motorists to yield to vehicles already in the circle, never stop inside a roundabout, and use their signal before exiting the circle.
The project is expected to move into stage 4 on Sept. 14. This stage will include final updates to street lighting, landscaping, and other finishing work. This work, which is expected to take approximately four weeks to complete, will require short-term lane restrictions with traffic controlled by flaggers.
In addition to the roundabout, the project includes sidewalks and crosswalks, truck aprons, and updated lighting and drainage work. Information on the Market Street Roundabout construction project or roundabout safety can be found at www.penndot.pa.gov/District1.
PennDOT urges motorists to slow down when driving in work zones, be alert to changing conditions, avoid distractions, and pay attention to signs and flaggers. Drive responsibly in work zones for your safety and the safety of the workers.
