PennDOT Mifflin County Maintenance Work Schedule for the Week of August 31

Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced the following schedule of maintenance activities in Mifflin County the week of August 31. PennDOT performs year-round maintenance in its mission to provide a safe, efficient transportation system, and the scope of work in Mifflin County for the coming week is as follows:

Bridge Maintenance & Cleaning

• Route 22 between the Route 22 Business exit in Granville Township and the Route 322 interchange in Derry Township. Tuesday, September 1, through Friday, September 4. PennDOT will implement single-lane closures while this work is completed.
• Route 322 at a bridge spanning Laurel Creek in Armagh Township. Monday, August 31. PennDOT will implement single-lane closures while this work is completed.

Pennsylvania has some of the oldest bridges in the country, with an age of more than 50 years on average. Preventive maintenance is vital in extending the life of the structures. As such, PennDOT maintenance crews perform some bridge deck patching and structural repairs.

Shoulder Maintenance

• Route 22 between the Huntingdon-Mifflin County line and Pine Hill Road in Wayne Township. Thursday, September 3, and Friday, September 4. Flaggers in the roadway will provide traffic control during daylight hours and may deploy a pilot vehicle. When encountering a pilot vehicle with a “Pilot Car Follow Me” sign mounted on the rear and a revolving yellow light, drivers must remain behind it until it has left the roadway. Do not pass.
• Route 103 between McVey’s Road in Wayne Township and John Street in Bratton Township. Monday, August 31, through Friday, September 4. Flaggers in the roadway will provide traffic control during daylight hours and may deploy a pilot vehicle. When encountering a pilot vehicle with a “Pilot Car Follow Me” sign mounted on the rear and a revolving yellow light, drivers must remain behind it until it has left the roadway. Do not pass.
• All of Route 3007 (Wakefield Road) in Oliver Township. Friday, September 4. Flaggers in the roadway will provide traffic control during daylight hours and may deploy a pilot vehicle. When encountering a pilot vehicle with a “Pilot Car Follow Me” sign mounted on the rear and a revolving yellow light, drivers must remain behind it until it has left the roadway. Do not pass.

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.

Side Dozing

• Route 322 between the Milroy and Reedsville-Belleville exits. Monday, August 31, through Friday, September 4. PennDOT will implement single-lane closures while this work is completed.

Side dozing removes excess material from beneath guide rail areas, which improves drainage and allows water to sheet flow off the roadway. Side dozing is a crucial highway maintenance operation 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.

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

PennDOT Mifflin County Maintenance Work Schedule for the Week of June 15

Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced the following schedule of maintenance activities in Mifflin County the week of June 15.

Joint & Crack Sealing (Hot Pour Mastic)

• Route 655 between the Huntington-Mifflin County line in Menno Township and the intersection of Tea Creek Road in Brown Township. Monday, June 15, through Thursday, June 18.

When encountering a pilot vehicle with a “Pilot Car Follow Me” sign mounted on the rear and a revolving yellow light, drivers must remain behind it until it has left the roadway. Do not pass.

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.

Patching
