The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invites the public to view the plans for proposed updates to 7.2 miles of German Hill Road (Route 4004) in Green and Kingsley townships, Forest County.
The German Hill Road Project includes milling and paving, base repairs, and guide rail updates from Little Hickory Road (Route 3004) to Route 666.
This work is planned to take place during the 2027 construction season.
Due to the narrow width of the existing roadway, work will require closures during active work hours. The daytime detour is expected to last approximately eight weeks. The proposed detour will be posted using Little Hickory Road (Route 3004), Route 62, and Route 666.
The public may view the plans for the German Hill Road Project online at www.pa.gov/DOTDistrict1. Information can be found under the View District 1 Projects option located at the top of the webpage. The project page includes digital copies of the project handout and a comment form.
Those unable to access the information online may give feedback by contacting PennDOT Project Manager Greg Maser at grmaser@pa.gov or 814-678-7035.
The purpose of the project webpage is to introduce the project and receive public input regarding any questions or concerns with the project. It is also an opportunity for the public to review and comment on the project’s potential effect upon Cultural Resources pursuant to the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation’s 36 CFR Part 800 regulations implementing Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.
