Clearfield, PA – With fresh snow and wintry winds, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is reminding motorists to slow down, pay attention and use caution on area roadways, especially during snow squalls or low-visibility conditions that may occur.

Motorists always should be alert for sudden squalls which can strike with little or no warning and quickly cause roads to become snow covered. Heavy squalls also can cause whiteout conditions, virtually eliminating a driver’s visibility. Additionally, falling temperatures and blowing and drifting snow can cause icy areas on roadways, including overpasses and bridges. The National Weather Service issues Snow Squall Warnings to alert motorists of potentially hazardous travel. If you receive a Snow Squall Warning, delay travel or exit the highway at the next opportunity.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Tuesday’s Garbage Pickups by Foil’s Disposal in Coudersport have been delayed until Wednesday.

We apologize for your inconvenience.

​Montoursville, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is advising motorists in Lycoming County that the bridge, also known as Iron bridge, carrying Route 414 over the Pine Creek, in Brown Township, Lycoming County, will be restricted to 32 Tons, Except Combinations 40 Tons. The bridge is located approximately 1.2 miles north of Slate Run.

The restriction is being made based on a recent inspection indicating that the truss floor beam system is deficient and cannot carry legal loads safely.

School buses, emergency vehicles, and local-delivery trucks are below the posted load limit and will therefore be able to cross the structure one truck at a time.

The restriction will be in effect once the required signs are erected by a PennDOT maintenance crew in the near future.
