PennDOT Sculptures, Meadville, PA

This fantastic set of sculptures is at the PennDOT maintenance yard site! There is about a quarter mile on the fenceline along US-6, plus a flower garden in front of the building. This project was begun in 2002, and all the sculptures are made from used highway signs, some cut and other used whole. The project is titled “Read Between The Signs” and more than 900 community members have provided design ideas. It’s coordinated by the local Allegheny College, using a team of college and community interns. Scenes in the fenceline mural include a farm, hot air balloons, a snowman, road maintenance crews, the Baldwin-Reynolds House, and more. And, it’s reflective at night!
