The northwest region of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has updated the weekly county maintenance schedules listed online to reflect work planned for the week of October 7, 2024.

Due to the seasonal change to winter operations and winter shifts, the weekly publication of county maintenance schedules is being suspended after today. They will resume in the spring.

Employees at our maintenance units will continue to work on patching roads, clearing brush, ditching, and other maintenance activities as time and conditions permit. Their primary focus, however, will be on winter maintenance preparations and operations, and keeping roads safe and passable.

Information on winter operations, including the annual Winter Service Guide, is available online at www.penndot.pa.gov/winter.

The weekly county maintenance schedules can be found online at www.penndot.pa.gov/District1 under the Maintenance and Traffic Bulletins heading. Separate plans are listed for Crawford, Erie, Forest, Mercer, Venango, and Warren counties.

All work is weather dependent. Fill dirt left over from PennDOT maintenance operations is available to property owners who request the material, have accessible property near work areas, and submit a completed M-666 packet to their local PennDOT maintenance facility.

PennDOT urges motorists to slow down when driving in work zones, and also to be alert to changing conditions, avoid distractions and to pay attention to signs and flaggers. Drive responsibly in work zones for your safety and the safety of the workers.
