Calder Way Improvement Project Phase 2 & 2A Community Update
This past week, the contractor for Phase 2 (Terra Works) installed three storm structures in the intersection of Calder Way and South Burrowes Street. The contractor also installed conduit from South Burrowes Street to Cresson Alley. Vehicular traffic from Miller Alley to Cresson Alley remains closed. South Burrowes Street from New Alley to College Avenue will also remain closed for next week.
Phase 2A, the contractor (Glenn O. Hawbaker) will move from stormwater installation and begin replacing the water main along Hetzel Street. Because of this, starting on Monday, June 1, a one-lane restriction is needed along College Avenue so the contractor and water authority can access what they need safely. Water work from College Avenue along Hetzel Street to the intersection of East Calder Way will occur next week.
The community can receive weekly updates by visiting the Calder Way Improvement Project page. Questions about the project may be directed to Tristan Klinefelter, the Borough’s Calder Way Public Relations Representative, by emailing tklinefelter@statecollegepa.us or calling (814) 680-4468.
