ROAD WORK - Route 45

PennDOT Announces Resurfacing on Route 45 in Centre County Starts Tuesday

Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that a highway resurfacing project on a section of Route 45 in Centre County will get under way on Tuesday, May 26. This will improve the safety and ride quality of the roadway.

On Tuesday, the contractor will begin milling operations of Route 45 between Route 2012 (Penn’s Cave Road) in Gregg Township and South Street in Millheim Borough. Flaggers will provide traffic control during daylight hours. Motorists are advised to watch for slow moving and stopped vehicles through the entire work zone, and are advised to obey the posted speed limit.

Overall work on this project includes milling, paving, line painting, shoulder work, and installation of guide rail and rumble strips.

This project is part of a group contract that also includes resurfacing Route 550 and Route 1008 (Howard Street) in Bellefonte, where work will be announced at a later date. Glenn O. Hawbaker is the contractor on the $2.2 million project. PennDOT expects all work to be completed in August.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:
Penalties for Texting While Driving Begin June 5, 2026
The state Department of Transportation and Pennsylvania State Police are reminding Pennsylvanians to put down the phone while driving or they will soon be forced to pay a fine. Paul Miller’s Law, which prohibits the use of hand-held devices while driving, even while stopped temporarily due to traffic, a red light, or other delays, took effect June 5, 2025. Drivers can still use their phones to alert authorities in the event of an emergency and use hands-free technology to make phone calls, use a GPS, and listen to music.
Beginning June 5, 2026, drivers convicted of using a hand-held device while driving will pay a $50 fine, plus court costs and other fees. Pennsylvania also enforces a texting-while-driving ban that prohibits drivers from using mobile devices to send, read, or write text-based communications while their vehicle is in motion.
"As the warning period for Paul Miller’s Law concludes, troopers will begin issuing citations to drivers using handheld devices behind the wheel," said Pennsylvania State Police Acting Commissioner Lieutenant Colonel George L. Bivens. "Distracted driving is dangerous and significantly increases the risk of crashes. Just a moment of inattention can lead to life-altering consequences. The PSP urges all motorists to put their phones down, stay focused, and help keep Pennsylvania's roadways safe."
