Work Continues on Route 522

PennDOT is reminding drivers to stay cautious as crews continue work on Route 522 in Mifflin County. The $6.2 million project spans five miles through Lewistown Borough and nearby townships, addressing drainage issues, improving the road surface, and preserving multiple bridges. This week, contractors are busy adjusting mailboxes to meet height requirements, with plans to finish by next week. They’re also seeding topsoil areas, resetting signs, and repainting edge and centerline markings. Traffic will be managed by flaggers during daylight hours, and drivers should watch for stopped vehicles and obey posted speed limits. The project is expected to wrap up in mid-November, weather permitting.
