PennDOT Cameron County Maintenance Work Schedule for the Week of September 21 

 Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced the following schedule of maintenance activities in Cameron County the week of September 21.

 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: 

Patching  All of Route 2001 (Wykoff Run Road). Monday, September 21, through Friday, September 25.

 Flaggers in the roadway will provide traffic control during daylight hours. 

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. Most permanent pothole patching is completed in spring or summer when temperatures stay consistently above freezing. Manual patching consists of filling potholes with warm mix asphalt using a shovel. It is then leveled and compacted. Mechanized patching consists of milling paving notches, cleaning the surface, applying tack to all edges to act as a glue. A paver then places warm mix into the milled paving notches, and a roller compacts the material. If patching was not performed, the damaged road surface would deteriorate further, and PennDOT would need to completely rebuild the road or perform more costly corrective measures.

 This schedule is subject to change due to weather conditions, emergencies, or other unforeseen interruptions. For more information on PennDOT’s maintenance activities, visit https://www.pa.gov/agencies/penndot/about-penndot/strategic-planning-and- operations/penndot-maintenance-activities
