Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) alerted motorists that work to replace an underground electrical line near the Interstate 80 Rest Areas at mile marker 194 in Clinton County will start Monday, July 10.
This work will take place in grassy areas and on the shoulder. PennDOT expects traffic impacts to be minimal but urges drivers to exercise caution in this and all work zones, obey posted speed limits, and always buckle up. Advanced signage and changeable message boards will alert drivers to the work.
PennDOT expects the project to take roughly six weeks. The rest areas will remain open for the duration.
