SUGARCREEK BOROUGH, Pa. — Work to rebuild more than 500 feet of the Route 62/Route8 (Allegheny Boulevard) retaining wall in Sugarcreek Borough, Venango County will start next week.

The project includes the removal and reconstruction of 540 feet of the southern end of the retaining wall, which runs between the northbound lanes of Route 62/Route 8 and the Allegheny River. Work will also include roadway reconstruction.

No detour is anticipated with this project. During construction, both northbound and southbound traffic will be restricted to one lane between Oil City and the village of Reno.

The work is expected to start June 25, 2018, and to be completed by October 5, 2018.

The contractor is Francis J. Palo, of Clarion, PA. The contract cost is $3,643,567, which is to be paid with 80 percent federal funds and 20 percent state funds.

This project is made possible in part by Act 89, Pennsylvania’s transportation funding plan.
