Major traffic delays are expected throughout Cambria County beginning Monday, April 20, as PennDOT launches major road construction projects.

A major pavement resurfacing effort will impact Route 756 from Route 403 to Route 3016, spanning Geistown and Lorain boroughs, Johnstown city, and Stonycreek Township.

The $1.36 million project, led by Quaker Sales Corporation, includes ADA ramp upgrades, drainage work, guide rail improvements, and paving, with work scheduled to finish by June 2026, weather permitting.

A separate bridge rehab on U.S. 219 in Richland Township starts April 13, causing lane restrictions and closing Mt. Airy Drive (Route 3104) over U.S. 219.

Detours will route traffic via Solomon Run Road, Galleria Drive, and Oakridge Drive.

Both projects aim to boost local road safety and efficiency, though substantial delays are anticipated.

PennDOT urges drivers to stay alert and use 511PA for updates.

Two Cambria County veterans will be permanently honored after Governor Josh Shapiro signed new legislation dedicating local bridges in their names.

The law follows proposals by State Representative Jim Rigby, combining his efforts into Senate Bill 78, which designates infrastructure statewide.

Now, the bridge over Bear Rock Run in Lilly Borough becomes the Corporal James D. Sloan Memorial Bridge, while Patty’s Run in Gallitzin Township is named the USMCR Mary A. Lidwell Memorial Bridge.

Corporal Sloan, a Penn Cambria alumnus and Vietnam War veteran, received several high honors, including the Purple Heart and Vietnam Campaign Medal.

Mary A. Lidwell, a Gallitzin native and former Marine, served with the Women’s Aviation Reserve during WWII and earned the Congressional Rosie the Riveter Medal.

The new designations ensure their legacy remains visible in the communities they served and loved.

Cambria County athletic teams are hitting their stride mid-April 2026 with spring sports heating up across local colleges and high schools.

At Saint Francis University, the Red Flash women’s tennis team celebrated a historic first NEC championship, highlighted by freshman Helena Lynn’s record 28th win.

The men’s volleyball squad clinched the NEC regular-season crown, while the reigning-conference champion softball team faces fierce competition in a key series.

UPJ’s Mia Smith surpassed 400 career strikeouts as Mountain Cats softball split with Clarion. The baseball team earned a narrow 7-6 victory over Gannon, and UPJ will host the 2026 Division II Super Regional golf tournament at Sunnehanna.

Mount Aloysius surged in baseball and softball, with Jessica Koptcho reaching 300 strikeouts and a new men's basketball coach, Pat Martinelli, named.

On the high school front, Bishop McCort, Central Cambria, Northern Cambria, and Cambria Heights all posted critical wins in baseball or softball, while Richland’s boys ran to a major track title.

Penn Highlands Community College is launching its Smart Start Promise Program, aiming to make college more affordable for recent Cambria County high school graduates.

The innovative pilot will cover full tuition and mandatory fees for up to 30 credits during a student’s first year, allowing greater access to higher education without overwhelming debt.

Students can use this support for any approved degree or certificate and attend classes in person or online, though they remain responsible for books and other supplies.

Backed by leaders like President Steve Nunez, local lawmakers, and a $900,000 grant from the 1889 Foundation, the program directly responds to community needs.

Graduates from 2026 to 2028 will benefit, with hopes to retain local talent and strengthen the workforce.

For families and students, the program represents an affordable path forward—offering hope and a critical first step toward a brighter future.

Penn Highlands Says "Yes" to Cambria County Grads — No Tuition Required!

Big news for recent high school graduates in Cambria County: Penn Highlands Community College just launched its brand-new Smart Start Promise Program, covering all tuition and comprehensive fees for up to 30 college credits — that's an entire first year. The program covers all tuition and comprehensive fees for up to 30 credits, meaning eligible students who graduated from a Cambria County high school will not have to pay tuition for their entire first year — a savings of over $7,000.

Key Details:

🦸 LOCAL HEROES

People who went above and beyond for their neighbors

Firefighters + Kids = Best School Commute Ever 🚒

Nine lucky Westmont Hilltop Elementary students got the ride of their lives this week, arriving to school in full firefighter style. The school's PTO launched a "Let's Get Fired Up for School Fundraiser," giving students the chance to win a ride to school on a fire truck. Twenty students were selected to be picked up at their homes by local firefighters and brought to school. But it wasn't just about the excitement — school leaders said the event also helps students connect with first responders and learn about community safety. Principal Nicole Kuzmiak noted: "We always want kids to know who the helpers are in their communities and we want them to be familiar with the firefighters, the police officers."

Firefighters from the Southmont, Upper Yoder, and West Hills Regional volunteer departments took part. The fundraiser generated $1,140, which will be split between the PTO and the fire companies — and the PTO hopes it becomes an annual event.

Cambria County Box 11 — First Responders Supporting First Responders

Here's a heartwarming full-circle story: Cambria County's first responders gave back to the very volunteers who support them on the job.

The money was raised during the county's first-ever First Responders Ball in November 2025. Captain Lianna Weir summed it up perfectly: "It just shows that we're doing something right and we're just so grateful to have the support and just to continue serving our community."

Heads Up, Homeowners: A Big Natural Gas Rate Hike Is on the Table

If you're a Peoples Natural Gas customer — and many Cambria County residents are — this one affects your wallet. On March 27, 2026, Peoples Gas filed a request to increase annual operating revenues by approximately $163.2 million (13.8%). Under the proposal, the average bill for a residential customer would increase from $122.20 per month to $138.23 per month — a 13.1% jump. The good news? The PUC is pumping the brakes. On April 16, the Public Utility Commission voted 5-0 to suspend and investigate the proposed rate increase. A final PUC decision is due by December 26, 2026.

Local Rep. Frank Burns has also written a letter to the PUC pushing back on the request on behalf of Cambria County residents.

Key Details:

• Want your voice heard? You can file a formal complaint with the PUC before May 26, 2026

If you apply to adopt, please let the Humane Society know that you saw the listing in The Cambria Buzz Newsletter!

About Murphy: Murphy is a 3-year-old American Pitbull Terrier with a big personality and an even bigger heart. She first arrived at the shelter in November 2024 and quickly worked her way into the hearts of staff, becoming a true shelter favorite.

Murphy may take a moment to warm up to new people, especially when they approach her kennel — the one little space she can call her own. But once she realizes you’re a friend, her sweet and affectionate side shines through. She’ll greet you with the most soulful, loving eyes and might even rub against you and the bars of her kennel like a cat, happily soaking up attention.

This girl is highly motivated by treats (the soft ones are her absolute favorite) and loves spending time with the people she trusts. Murphy has a wonderful balance of energy — she enjoys playtime and getting her zoomies out, but she’s just as happy relaxing and enjoying some calm companionship.

Murphy would do best in a home without other animals or young children, where she can feel safe, secure, and loved. In the right home, Murphy will be a loyal companion who gives her whole heart to her person.

• Age: estimated age 3 years 4 months
• Gender: female

• Weight: 52.7 lbs.
  Adoption Fee: ?

• Why Murphy Needs You: "Like so many animals at the shelter, Hissterical is patiently waiting for a loving family to call her own. He dreams of a family to love, a comfy bed and toys to play with!"

How to Adopt Murphy:

If Murphy sounds like the perfect addition to your family, don't hesitate!

• Visit the Humane Society: Murphy is currently staying at the Humane Society of Cambria County located at 743 Galleria Dr Ext, Johnstown, PA 15904.

• Learn More & Apply: You can view Murphy's full profile and learn more about the adoption process by visiting the Humane Society's website: https://www.humanecambria.org/adoptable-animals/ 

• Contact Information: For questions about Murphy or the adoption process, you can call the Humane Society of Cambria County at (814) 535-6116.
