    PennDOT Plans Overnight Line Painting in Clearfield, State College

    June 12, 2026

    Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced it plans to complete overnight line painting next week in the Clearfield and State College areas. Each year, PennDOT line painting crews apply more than 1.6 million gallons of yellow and white waterborne traffic line paint and beads made of recycled glass that are retroreflective to help guide motorists and keep pavement markings visible at night.

    PennDOT is scheduling this work on the days and times listed below to minimize traffic impacts on the impacted roads.

    Drives may encounter line painting crews on other routes in the impacted areas outside of the hours listed above. If you are driving and encounter these crews, PennDOT urges drivers to exercise caution in these and all work zones, obey posted speed limits, and always buckle up. If you must cross a wet paint line to complete a turn, PennDOT urges you to slow down to between 10 and 15 miles per hour to prevent paint from splashing into your wheel wells or damaging your vehicles paint finish.

    The weather must be warm and dry for painting because rain, high humidity or temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit will increase the normal drying time of the paint by between 90 and 120 seconds. For these reasons and other potential unforeseen circumstances, PennDOT reminds travelers this schedule is subject to change without notice.
