Road work is expected to start early next week on the resurfacing of two state routes in Mercer County, PA, Route 208 and Route 158.

Route 208 will be resurfaced from the Lawrence County line near Volant, PA to the bridge over Black Run in Springfield Township, for a total of 5.87 miles of resurfaced roadway.

Route 158 will be getting worked on between the Lawrence County line near New Wilmington and the intersection with Leesburg Station Rd in Wilmington Township, 1.49 miles up the road. 

Work will begin next Monday, June 12th, and continue into September. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is telling drivers to expect travel delays due to lane restrictions traveling through the area, where traffic will be controlled by flaggers.
