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.
Shoulder Maintenance
- Route 153 (Crooked Sewer Road) from the Henderson intersection to the Glen Richey Highway/Park Avenue intersection near Clearfield. Monday, June 3, through Friday, June 7. Flaggers in the roadway will provide traffic control during daylight hours.
- Route 2012 (Turkey Hill Road/Faunce Road/Sanborn Road) between Clark Road and Ashland to Burly Road. Monday, June 3, through Friday, June 7. Flaggers in the roadway will provide traffic control during daylight hours.
- Route 2014 (Red Schoolhouse Road/Coal Run Road) from Route 153 near Sanborn to Route 53 near Osceola. Monday, June 3, through Friday, June 7. Flaggers in the roadway will provide traffic control during daylight hours.
- Route 2007(Parsonville Road/Ashland road/Morgan Run Road) in Monday, June 3, through Friday, June 7. Flaggers in the roadway will provide traffic control during daylight hours.
Shoulder cutting removes excess material and debris from unpaved shoulder areas. Shoulder grading involves the shaping and stabilizing of those same areas. Both operations improve drainage, allow water to leave the roadway, and eliminate shoulder drop-offs. These are crucial highway maintenance operations because when drainage systems do not function properly, water collects on the road, weakens pavement, accelerates the formation of potholes, and creates the potential for icing conditions in the winter months.
Vegetation Management
- Route 53 (Spring Street) between Houtzdale and Osceola Mills. Tuesday, June 4, through Friday, June 7. Flaggers in the roadway will provide traffic control.
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.
