Starting today, drivers should expect delays along State Route 764, 6th Avenue and 7th Street in Altoona. The delays are as a result of an intersection improvement project conducted by PennDOT that will involve an addition of the 75-foot left turn lane along 6th Avenue and 7th Street. PennDOT is encouraging motorists, especially those needing access to Chestnut Avenue and UPMC, to seek alternate routes to help ease congestion. Beginning June 3rd, long-term traffic control provisions, will be implemented at the intersection with a left lane closure, while work is underway.
