PennDOT to Complete Cold In-Place Recycling on Phoenix Road
Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) Potter County Maintenance forces plan to complete cold-in-place recycling along Route 1005 (Phoenix Road) from Tuesday, May 28, through Friday, May 31. Cold in-place recycling is a process where the existing asphalt pavement is cold milled to produce reclaimed asphalt pavement, processed into a recycled mixture, placed, and compacted onto the roadway, which corrects irregularities in the pavement surface, removes existing cracks, potholes, and raveling.
Crews will work between the Potter-Tioga County line in Pike Township and Carlin Road in Hector Township. Flaggers in the roadway will provide traffic control during daylight hours. PennDOT anticipates delays while this work occurs and urges drivers to build extra time into their travel schedules or to seek alternate routes.
Other advantages to this type of roadway treatment include conserving nonrenewable resources and energy and cost savings compared to other treatments.

Motorists Encouraged to use 511PA to Plan Ahead for Safe Travel
Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) are urging motorists to keep traffic safety top of mind when behind the wheel this holiday weekend, and all summer long. The agencies are partnering with municipal police departments and other safety partners across the commonwealth to participate in the National “Click It or Ticket” (CIOT) Enforcement Mobilization running now through June 2.

Through continued enforcement and education, we hope to see more people buckling up and fewer fatal crashes on Pennsylvania’s roads.”
