CLEARFIELD, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that a highway resurfacing project impacting Route 2017 (Scotch Hollow Road) in Decatur Township, Clearfield County, will start on Monday, June 8. This project will improve the ride quality and extend the service life of nearly five miles of road in Clearfield County.

While the road is closed, traffic will follow a detour using Route 2014 (Ashland to Coal Run Road), Route 53, and Route 2051 (Drane Highway) around the closure. PennDOT anticipates the road will only be closed for a day, but all construction schedules are subject to change due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.

While the road is closed, traffic will follow a detour using Route 153, Route 2023 (Glen Richey Highway) and Bloom Road around the closure. PennDOT also expects this to be a one-day closure, however construction schedules remain subject to change.
On Monday, June 15, the contractor plans to reduce Route 2012 (Turkey Hill Road) to one lane with flaggers in the roadway providing traffic control between Faunce Road and Route 453 in Knox Township to complete paving operations.
