    PennDOT to Conduct Roadway Maintenance Operations in Blair County the Week of July 28 to August 1

    July 25, 2025

    The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is informing motorists of the potential for delays along several Blair County roads for various maintenance operations during the week beginning Monday, July 28 through Friday, August 1.  

    PennDOT’s Blair County Maintenance Unit will be conducting the following operations:

    • Crack sealing on Route 1013 (Sinking Valley Road) in Tyrone Township
    • Mill and fill on Route 1013 (Kettle Road) in Tyrone Township
    • Bridge work on Route 4015 (Grandview Road) in Bellwood Borough
    •  Sign maintenance and mowing on various routes countywide
    • Pipe flushing/ditching in the Blue Knob area

    The work may be conducted under temporary traffic control signals or advanced signage. As always, PennDOT stresses extra caution in all work zones. Motorists should drive slowly, eliminate all distractions, watch for maintenance personnel and vehicles, and stay alert for direction from advanced signage, flaggers or temporary traffic control signals.    

    Additionally, PennDOT reminds motorists that as of June 5, 2025, the "Paul Miller's Law" is in effect. This law prohibits the use of hand-held devices while driving, even while stopped temporarily due to traffic, a red light, or other momentary delay. Violation of this law is punishable by way of summary citations issued by any Pennsylvania Law Enforcement officer. We strongly urge motorists to make safe choices, put phones out of reach and don’t text and drive.
