Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that its McKean County Maintenance Organization will close a portion of Route 46 in Foster Township on Wednesday, August 20, for a pipe replacement project. Replacing the 54-inch pipe located approximately 1.25 miles north of the intersection with Route 646 will prevent uncontrolled water flow from damaging the pavement and extend the service life of the road.
While the road is closed, traffic will follow a detour using Route 646 and Route 246 around the closure. In the event of rain on August 20, PennDOT will start the work on Thursday, August 21. It expects to complete this work in one or two days, but all schedules are weather-dependent.
Motorists can check conditions on major roadways by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information, and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras. 511PA is also available through a smartphone application for iPhone and Android devices, by calling 5-1-1, or by following regional X alerts.
