PennDOT to Start High Friction Surface Application Project
CLEARFIELD – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that work on a high-friction surface application project impacting bridges in Clinton, Juniata, Mifflin, and Potter counties will start on Thursday, June 12. These applications will increase skid resistance at the application sites and enhance safety for motorists.
The contractor will start at a Route 1012 (Electric Avenue) bridge spanning Laurel Creek in Armagh Township. Flaggers in the roadway will provide traffic control while the surface is applied. PennDOT anticipates work at this site will take two days and urges drivers to expect minor delays.
Other bridges scheduled to undergo high-friction surface applications as part of this project are as follows:
Clinton County
- A Route 880 bridge spanning Rauchtown Creek near Ravensburg State Park in Crawford Township.
- A Route 2019 (Laurel Run Road) bridge spanning Laurel Run two miles west of Mill Hall in Bald Eagle Township.
Juniata County
- A Route 22 bridge spanning Route 2006 (Cross Street) one mile east of Mifflintown in Fermanagh Township.
- A Route 22 eastbound bridge spanning Route 2003 (Doe Run Road) and Doe Run in Walker Township.
- A Route 22 westbound bridge spanning Route 2003 (Doe Run Road) and Doe Run in Walker Township.
Potter County
- A Route 6 bridge spanning Trout Brook one mile east of Roulette in Roulette Township.
- A Route 1022 (Mill Street) bridge (The 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.
PennDOT will issue updates on the project as work progresses. Due to the nature of these applications, work cannot occur in the rain. The contractor will reschedule in the event of inclement weather.
