Mill Hall, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced a start date for a pipe replacement project along Route 477 (Long Run Road) in Clinton County. Beginning July 17, PennDOT Clinton County Maintenance crews will replace pipes along Route 447 between Auction Road and Interstate 80 under a daytime detour.
During the work, the detour will be in place between 7:00 AM and 4:00 PM. The southbound detour will utilize Route 2008 (Auction Road), Route 220, and I-80 eastbound. The northbound detour will use I-80 westbound, Route 220, and Route 2008.
PennDOT will accommodate emergency vehicles passing through the work zone as needed. Residents along the road will be able to access their homes.
PennDOT expects the project to run through August 31, but all work is weather dependent. Once complete, the pipe replacements will improve drainage through this area.
