LOCK HAVEN -- The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced the following schedule of maintenance activities in Clinton County the week of July 20. PennDOT performs year-round maintenance in its mission to provide a safe, efficient transportation system, and the scope of work in Clinton County for the coming week is as follows:
Pipe Replacement & Cleaning
-- Route 120 starting near KD Farm Lane in Chapman Township and continuing eastbound approximately 6.5 miles. Now through Friday, July 24. 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 150 between Canal and Herr streets in Flemington Borough.Now through Friday, July 24. 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 2012 (Youngdale Road/East Keller Street) between McElhatten Avenue in Castanea Township and Campground Road in Wayne Township. Now through Friday, July 24. 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.
Pipe replacement and cleaning are essential in maintaining water flow around state roadways. Controlling water flow is one of the most important aspects of maintaining pavements. Uncontrolled water flow will damage both the pavement surface and the area under the pavement, which causes deterioration across the length of the pipe.
Side Dozing
-- All of Route 2019 (Laurel Run Road) in Bald Eagle Township. Now through Friday, July 24. 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.
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.
Vegetation Management
-- Route 144 between Route 120 in Renovo Borough and the Clinton-Potter County line. Now through Friday, July 24. PennDOT shadow vehicles will be in the roadway for this continuously moving operation. When encountering a shadow vehicle with a "Lane Closed Do Not Pass" 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 477. Now through Friday, July 24. PennDOT shadow vehicles will be in the roadway for this continuously moving operation. When encountering a shadow vehicle with a "Lane Closed Do Not Pass" 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 880. Now through Friday, July 24. PennDOT shadow vehicles will be in the roadway for this continuously moving operation.

Mowing, herbicide spraying, and selected tree thinning help maintain a safe roadway free of obstructing vegetation, improving visibility to spot signage, traffic control devices, and other motorists, bicyclists, pedestrians, and animals approaching the road. Additionally, a well-maintained roadside can improve drainage and prolong the life of the roadway.
