From May 1 to May 10, crews from Potter County PennDOT Maintenance will be working to replace pipes and improve drainage from the southern end of Phoenix Run Road at the Potter/Tioga County line to the northern end of the road at the Potter/Tioga County line.
The roadway will be closed during daylight hours of 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. each work day. A detour using Loucks Mills Road (Route 1003) will be in place during closure hours. Drivers familiar with the area may choose to use other, alternate routes.
School buses will be able to travel the during the closure and emergency vehicles will be accommodated as necessary. PennDOT will re-open the road before May 10 if work progress allows.
The pipe work is being done in preparation for roadway surface improvement work, which is expected to take place during the 2017 construction season. PennDOT will issue an update prior to the resurfacing work.
Drivers are reminded to follow detour signing, use caution in and around work zones, and always buckle up.
