PennDOT Elk County Maintenance Work Schedule for the Week of September 8

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced the following schedule of maintenance activities in Elk County the week of September 8. PennDOT performs year-round maintenance in its mission to provide a safe, efficient transportation system, and the scope of work in Elk County for the coming week is as follows:

Pipe Replacing & Cleaning

Route 153 between the Clearfield-Elk County line in Fox Township and Route 219 in Horton Township. Monday, September 8, through Thursday, September 11. Flaggers in the roadway will provide traffic control during daylight hours.

Route 219 between Route 2001 (Keystone Road) and Elbon Road in Horton Township. Wednesday, September 10, through Friday, September 12. Flaggers in the roadway will provide traffic control during daylight hours.

Route 2007 (Old Kersey Road) between Route 255 and Brown’s Road in Fox Township. Tuesday, September 9, and Wednesday, September 10. 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.
