​Montoursville, PA – Motorists are advised that a reclamation project is set to begin next week on Route 3020 (Plank Road) in Towanda Township, Bradford County.

On Monday, June 21, a Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) maintenance crew will begin preparation work for a full depth reclamation project on Plank Road between the intersection with Route 3018 (Bridge Street) and the Towanda Borough line. Traffic will be controlled by road closures or flagging, dependent upon the operation. Motorists should expect significant delays and are encouraged to use alternate routes. Homeowners will have access to their properties.

Work on the project includes stabilizing the base, paving and line painting. The project is expected to be completed by the end of August, weather permitting.

Work on this project will be 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 jobsite, and relevant training.
