Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) said drivers traveling Route 219 in the City of DuBois should expect to encounter flaggers in the roadway between Long and Scribner avenues starting Monday as work to fill a decommissioned structure beneath the roadway gets under way. This work will preserve the integrity of the roadway surface, preserve drainage, and extend its service life.
Flaggers will be in the roadway as needed between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM as this work is completed. PennDOT urges drivers to build extra time into their schedules, exercise caution and obey all posted work zone signage, and to always buckle up.
PennDOT expects this work will take approximately two weeks to complete, but all construction schedules are subject to change due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances. It is part of a larger project to rehabilitate three bridges in Clearfield and Elk counties, which will improve ride quality across those structures and improve their overall condition ratings.
The contractor completed work on Route 4007 (Main Street) bridge spanning the West Branch of the Clarion River in Johnsonburg Borough earlier this year under this contract. It will complete work on a pair of bridges along Route 1006 (Goshen Road) in Clearfield County during the 2026 construction season. HRI Inc. of State College is the contractor on this $1.5 million project.
