Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced roadway maintenance and repair operations on Route 45 in Millheim could cause traffic delays during the morning commute through the week of May 13, to Friday May 17.
Crews will perform work on Route 45 between Millheim and Centre Hall in Penn and Gregg townships beginning at 7:00 AM each day through Friday, May 17. Flaggers in the roadway will provide traffic control during daylight hours. PennDOT representatives note that every attempt to prioritize traffic flow, including morning school traffic, will occur.
This project involves “mill and fill" and base repair, and is intended to repair fatigue cracked, potholed, or distorted pavement sections and restore the structural integrity of the pavement. All distressed material within the area, including the material beneath the asphalt, is removed and replaced with sound material. The new material is then compacted before being overlayed with new asphalt. Base repair extends the service life of good and fair roads and provides a smooth, safe ride for motorists.
Motorists can check conditions on major roadways by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information, and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras.
511PA is also available through a smartphone application for iPhone and Android devices, by calling 5-1-1, or by following local alerts on X.
