Road Paving Update

Due to an equipment issue, Earle Asphalt Paving had to delay the completion of the following roads until Tuesday, October 1st:

  1. Hazel Avenue
  2. Rosewood Avenue
  3. Forrest Avenue
  4. 2nd Street

The above streets are receiving a new microsurface.  Microsurfacing is a thin, tough layer of asphalt emulsion that seals cracks and prevents moisture from penetrating the base.  Wet microsurface will stick to shoes, clothing, and automobiles, so please DO NOT walk on it, ride your bike on it, or drive over it with your vehicle until the surface is completely dry.  These roads will be closed for a few hours to fully dry.

PennDOT Invites Pennsylvanians to Share Feedback on Construction, Maintenance Services

PennDOT Invites Pennsylvanians to Share Feedback on Construction, Maintenance Services

 Statewide Online Survey Available Until October 22

Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is accepting construction and maintenance services feedback through an online survey. The public can take the survey through October 22 by visiting 2024 PennDOT Construction/Maintenance Customer Satisfaction Survey.

Construction and maintenance work has been underway across the state this year. From January through August, 303 bridges were put out for bid to be repaired, replaced, or preserved by PennDOT or industry forces. Additionally, from January through August more than 3,100 roadway miles were improved by department or partner crews. This includes 1,114 miles of paving.

“PennDOT is working hard for Pennsylvanians every day, and work on our roads and bridges is one of our largest services in our communities,” PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll said. “This survey is one way the public can help us find successes, potential improvements, or educational opportunities.”

The 24-question survey asks respondents how they receive PennDOT roadway information and how often PennDOT meets or exceeds expectations in construction and maintenance activities. Respondents are also asked about experiences with reporting concerns to the department, and whether or how they use the state’s 511PA traveler information services.

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 regional X alerts.
