PennDOT District 10 welcomes you to the official website for the State Route 68 (I-80 to Main Street) Improvement Project. Route 68 is a two-lane road that passes through the municipalities of Monroe and Clarion Townships and Clarion Borough in central Clarion County.

The project area begins at the interchange with Interstate 80 (I-80) in the south and extends approximately two miles north to the intersection with Route 322 (Main Street) in Clarion. This heavily traveled corridor includes a mixture of residential properties and businesses, as well as a highly commercialized area near I-80. Route 68 also provides access to Clarion University, Clarion Hospital, and Clarion County offices.

The project team, including PennDOT District 10 staff and a consultant team, has completed initial environmental and traffic studies to identify aspects of the roadway in need of improvement along Route 68. Subsequent steps include the development of preliminary alternatives that address the identified project needs, selection of a preferred alternative and environmental clearance followed by final design, and ultimately construction. Public involvement is important to ensure that the project reflects community input and is consistent with local and regional goals for the area.

Input from the public as well as local, state, and federal officials will be sought at each step of the development process.

Thank you! Thank you for your participation at the October 11, 2007 public officials and public meetings. In order to view the PowerPoint presentation and displays from the meetings visit the Public Involvement page!
