CLEARFIELD — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that work on a high-friction surface application project impacting bridges in Potter, Clinton, Juniata and Mifflin counties will start Thursday.
These applications will increase skid resistance at the application sites and enhance safety for motorists. Flaggers in the roadway will provide traffic control while the surface is applied.
Potter County bridges due to be treated are:
- A Route 6 bridge spanning Trout Brook one mile east of Roulette in Roulette Township.
- A Route 1022 (Mill Street) bridge (Specialist Clark Robert Douglas Memorial Bridge) spanning Pine Creek in Galeton Borough.
- A Route 4017 bridge spanning Bell Run five miles south of Shinglehouse in Sharon Township.
Drivers are urged to expect minor delays. Due to the nature of these applications, work cannot occur in the rain. The contractor will reschedule in the event of inclement weather.
