PennDOT - District 10 News
PennDOT Clarion County Maintenance Crews to Perform Shoulder Grading and Ditch Cleaning Operations
Indiana, PA – PennDOT District 10 is announcing Clarion County maintenance crews anticipate the beginning of shoulder grading and ditch cleaning operations.
PennDOT crews will be performing maintenance operations along 305 miles of state-maintained roadways in Clarion County. Shoulder grading will be conducted in the Knox and Fryburg areas and along I-80, as part of the cycle sectional maintenance four-year plan. Ditch cleaning operations will occur along various routes county wide.
The shoulder grading operations remove excess soil and debris from unpaved shoulder areas to improve drainage and allow water to leave the roadway.
The maintenance crews are seeking waste material dump sites. Property owners who are interested in receiving the fill should contact the Clarion County PennDOT Office at (814) 226-8200, Monday through Friday from 8:00 am until 4:00 pm for a release form.
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.

Remake Learning Days is back all across Pennsylvania on May 4 - 23, 2023.
During January and February our focus is to identify great quality event hosts to open their doors (in-person or virtually) to host learning events related to one or more of these themes: arts, maker, outdoor learning, science, tech, and youth voice. Our goal is to create an event calendar of 100+ events across NWPA where parents and caregivers can learn alongside their kids in evenings and on weekends and teachers can engage their students in events during the school day. One festival goal is for youth to find new interests, families/educators to find new community connections, and to bring a community together as part of the festival. We have a handful of $250 mini-grants for event hosts, if needed.
In March/April our focus will shift to sharing the event calendar with educators and families so they can find events that fit their schedule and interests.
