Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that its Elk County Maintenance Organization will close Route 2007 (Irishtown/Old Kersey Road) on Monday, July 14, for a two-day pipe replacement project. Replacing the 78-inch pipe located approximately three-tenths of a mile west of the intersection with Fern Lane in Fox Township, Elk County, will help prepare the road for future resurfacing projects.
While the road is closed, traffic will follow a detour using Route 255 and Route 948 back to Irishtown/Old Kersey Road. In the event of rain on July 14, PennDOT will begin the work on Tuesday, July 15. Department forces will complete all work and expect to reopen the road by Wednesday, weather permitting.
