Highway planning hurdles slow Route 219 project progress
PennDOT official Robert S. Kopitnik told the Southern Alleghenies conference that environmental impact statements and new air and noise rules delay highway work. He cited Section 10 of Route 219 near Beechdale and Section eight near Meyersdale as examples, noting $600,000 was spent on five consulting firms for EIS work and that delays are preferable to risking a stalled highway.
