Railroad Work to Close Deer Creek Road Near Frenchville
Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is alerting motorists that RJ Corman Railroad crews are scheduled to begin replacing the Deer Creek Road railroad crossing near Frenchville Sunday, July 12. The road will be closed at the crossing for two days while this work is completed.
Work on this project will be done in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and state Department of Health guidance as well as a project-specific COVID-19 safety plan, which will include protocols for social distancing, use of face coverings, personal and job site cleaning protocols, management of entries to the job site and relevant training.
During the closure, a 31-mile detour using Route 879, Route 1011 (Rolling Stone Road), Route 53 and Route 2030 (Bigler Cutoff Road) will be in effect.
Work at the crossing will consist of excavating the existing railroad crossing surface, reconstructing the subbase material, constructing and installing the new crossing panel, resurfacing the rail approaches and paving the roadway approaches and crossing surface. This work is expected to be complete by evening on Monday, July 13. All work is weather and schedule dependent.
PennDOT reminds drivers to use caution in the work zone, remain alert for railroad operators and equipment, approach railroad crossings with care, and to “Always expect a train.”
