CLEARFIELD COUNTY – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced the following schedule of maintenance activities in Clearfield County the week of April 8.
PennDOT performs year-round maintenance in its mission to provide a safe, efficient transportation system, and the scope of work in Clearfield County for the coming week is as follows:
Pipe Replacing & Cleaning
?
- Route 219 in Burnside Township. Monday, April 8, through Friday, April 12. Flaggers in the roadway will provide traffic control during daylight hours.
- Route 865 in Beccaria Township. Wednesday, April 10, through Friday, April 12. Flaggers in the roadway will provide traffic control during daylight hours.
- Route 2001 (Plank Road) in Gulich Township. Monday, April 8, through Friday, April 12. Flaggers in the roadway will provide traffic control during daylight hours.
- Route 2002 (Cross Roads Boulevard) in Beccaria Township. Monday, April 8, and Tuesday, April 9. Flaggers in the roadway will provide traffic control during daylight hours.
Pipe replacement and cleaning are essential in maintaining water flow around state roadways. Controlling water flow is one of the most important aspects of maintaining pavements. Uncontrolled water flow will damage both the pavement surface and the area under the pavement, which causes deterioration across the length of the pipe.
Vegetation Management
- Interstate 80 in Graham Township near the Kylertown exit. Monday, April 8, through Friday, April 12. This work takes place off the roadway and has minimal, if any, traffic impact.
- Route 53 in Decatur and Woodward townships and Houtzdale and Osceola Mills boroughs. Flaggers in the roadway will provide traffic control during daylight hours.
Mowing, herbicide spraying, and selected tree thinning help maintain a safe roadway free of obstructing vegetation, improving visibility to spot signage, traffic control devices, and other motorists, bicyclists, pedestrians, and animals approaching the road. Additionally, a well-maintained roadside can improve drainage and prolong the life of the roadway.
PennDOT urges motorists to exercise caution in these and all work zones to ensure their safety and the safety of county maintenance staff.
This schedule is subject to change due to weather conditions, emergencies, or other unforeseen interruptions.
