PennDOT Elk County Maintenance Work Schedule for the Week of September 1

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced the following schedule of maintenance activities in Elk County the week of September 1. PennDOT performs year-round maintenance in its mission to provide a safe, efficient transportation system, and while crews will be off on Monday, September 1, in observance of Labor Day, the scope of work in Elk County for the remainder of the week is as follows:

Pipe Replacing & Cleaning

Route 153 starting at Route 219 in Horton Township and continuing southbound approximately 3.5 miles to the Elk-Clearfield County line in Fox Township. Tuesday, September 2, through Friday, September 5. 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.

This schedule is subject to change due to weather conditions, emergencies, or other unforeseen interruptions.

Customers can report road concerns by calling 1-800-FIX-ROAD. If calling after hours, please leave a name and phone number.
