Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that a pipe replacement project on Route 2008 (Whiskey Road/Mail Pouch Road) in Decatur Township, Mifflin County will begin Monday, with a detour in place routing traffic around the project. This work will improve drainage capacity, improve safety and extend the life of the roadway.
Starting Monday, July 27, the contractor will begin work to replace the pipe on Whiskey Road approximately one half mile South of Snook Road. Traffic will follow a detour around the project site utilizing Route 522, Route 4001 (County Line Road), Route 2008 (Samuel’s Church Road), and back to Whiskey Road.
Overall work on this project includes replacement of the drainage pipe with a new concrete culvert structure, paving, guide rail, pavement markings, and miscellaneous construction. Glenn O.
