WINFIELD – Following Governor Tom Wolf’s okay for construction to resume statewide today (Friday), work on the CSVT northern section is set to restart next week. PennDOT says work will begin Monday, including excavation and embankment operations, planting trees and shrubs, and building temporary access roads to facilitate paving operations.
