COUDERSPORT — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation will perform pipe replacement work in early May along Phoenix Run Road (Route 1005) in Pike and Hector townships.
From Monday to May 10, crews from Potter County PennDOT Maintenance will work to replace pipes and improve drainage from the southern end of Phoenix Run Road at the Potter/Tioga County line to the northern end of the road at the Potter/Tioga County line.
The roadway will be closed during daylight hours of 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. each work day. A detour using Loucks Mills Road (Route 1003) will be in place during closure hours. Drivers familiar with the area may choose to use other alternate routes.
School buses will be able to travel the during the closure and emergency vehicles will be accommodated as necessary. PennDOT will reopen the road before May 10 if work progress allows.
The pipe work is being done in preparation for roadway surface improvement work, which is expected to take place during the 2017 construction season. PennDOT will issue an update prior to the resurfacing work.
