PENNDOT Cameron County maintenance work

Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PENNDOT) announced the following schedule of maintenance activities in Cameron County the week of April 29. PENNDOT performs year-round maintenance in its mission to provide a safe, efficient transportation system, and the scope of work in Cameron County for the coming week is as follows:

Crack Seal & Hot Pour Mastic

• Route 120 (Bucktail Trail Highway) between Route 3001 (Moore Hill Road in Shippen Township and Stillhouse Road in Lumber Township. Monday, April 29, through Friday, May 3. Flaggers in the roadway will provide traffic control during daylight hours.

Crack sealing and hot pour mastic operations prevent water intrusion from seeping through cracks or joints in an asphalt road, which can lead to potholes and pavement breakup. They are proactive preventive maintenance strategies to prevent water from entering the roadways and accelerating the formation of potholes and other failures.

Vegetation Management

Route 120 (Truman Road/bucktail Trail Highway) between the Cameron/elk county line in Shippen Township and the Cameron/clinton county line in Gibson Township. Monday, April 29, through Friday, May 3. 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 wellmaintained roadside can improve drainage and prolong the life of the roadway.

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