STATE COLLEGE — The state Dept. of Transportation recently announced that design team personnel will be conducting field reconnaissance and data collection along the Preferred Alternative of the State College Area Connector Project starting the week of July 6.
During this time, project team members will be using Ground Penetrating Radar and other non-invasive utility location equipment to locate septic tanks and drain fields and to horizontally locate existing underground utilities throughout the project corridor that may be affected by the construction of the proposed highway improvements.
Investigations are expected to be completed by the end of August pending weather delays.
Additional information on the State College Area Connector Project, including the “Draft Environmental Impact Statement” and the “Purpose and Need Statement,” is available online at www.PennDOT.pa.gov/SCAC.
