Clearfield, PA –The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) alerted motorists that a Potter County box culvert replacement project will begin Sunday, July 14. Spanning Shinglebolt Hollow Run along Route 3001 (East Fork Road) in Summit Township, the structure is nine feet long and carries an average of 144 vehicles daily. Replacing the box culvert will improve its rating from poor to good.
Starting July 14, PennDOT will close this section of Route 3001 and a detour using Route 44 (Coudersport Pike), Route 6 (Grand Army of the Republic Highway), and Route 872 (Inez Road) will be in place. The closure and detour are expected to be in effect through July 26. Residents along Route 3001 will be able to access their homes during the closure.
This is a joint effort between PennDOT Potter County maintenance forces and Nestlerode Contracting Co Inc., of Lock Haven, PA. PennDOT crews arrived Monday, July 8, to begin the excavation work while the contractor will set the box culvert. This project has a $251,429 value.
