Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that its Clearfield County Maintenance Organization is in the process of closing Route 2018 (Copelin Road) in Decatur Township for an emergency pipe replacement. Replacing the pipe will help prevent uncontrolled water flow from flooding the roadway, damaging the pavement, and will extend the service life of the road.
Copelin Road will be closed between Route 2016 (Decatur Street) and Perk Street while crews work to replace the pipe. Traffic will follow a detour using Decatur Street/Blue Spruce Road and Route 2019 (Six Mile Road) back to Copelin Road. Drivers familiar with the area may also consider other routes.
PennDOT expects the road to be closed for at least 24 hours.
