PennDOT plans shoulder grading, ditch cleaning in Clarion County

From staff reports

PennDOT maintenance crews in Clarion County are anticipating the beginning of shoulder grading and ditch cleaning operations in the county.

PennDOT crews will perform maintenance operations along 305 miles of state-maintained roadways in the county.

Shoulder grading will be conducted in the Knox and Fryburg areas and along Interstate 80 as part of the cycle sectional maintenance four-year plan.

Ditch cleaning operations will occur countywide along various routes.

The shoulder grading operations remove excess soil and debris from unpaved shoulder areas to improve drainage and allow water to leave the roadway.

The maintenance crews are seeking waste material dump sites, and property owners who are interested in receiving the fill should contact the Clarion County PennDOT office at (814) 226-8200, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday for a release form.
