Sinnemahoning Watershed Association Update

 

Sinnemahoning Watershed Association 
 “Only if we understand can we care. Only if we care will we help. Only if we help shall they be saved.” – Dr. Jane Goodall 
Dr. Goodall understood that for people to want to save or help the environment, they must first understand it. 
Getting out into the Sinnemahoning Watershed, it is easy to see its beauty, but sometimes it is hard to understand the importance of all the parts that go into maintaining that beauty. From the trees down to insects, it is important to understand their importance and why they need to be protected. 

Penn State Extension offers lots of free webinars; Keystone Elk Country Alliance, Sizerville State Park, and Sinnemahoning State Park offer lots of great programs, and the SWA will be looking to start hosting educational opportunities in the future. Working together and learning about what makes the Sinnemahoning Watershed so special will help preserve and save it for future generations.

PennDOT Cameron County Maintenance Work Schedule for the Week of September 28

 

PennDOT Cameron County Maintenance Work Schedule for the Week of September 28

Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced the following schedule of maintenance activities in Cameron County the week of September 28. 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:

Joint and Crack Seal & Hot Pour Mastic

Route 120 between Chestnut Street in Driftwood Borough and Route 872 in Grove Township. Monday, September 28, through Friday, October 2. 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 2001 (Wykoff Run Road). Monday, September 28, through Friday, October 2. 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 2006 (Quehanna Highway) in Cameron County. Monday, September 28, through Friday, October 2. 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.

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.

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