The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has announced several road work projects scheduled to take place in Schuylkill County from Monday, April 7 through Friday, April 11. All work will occur during daytime hours, from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

Girardville Borough – Main Street

PennDOT maintenance forces will perform pothole patching on Main Street, between PA 54 and Powder Hill Road. Motorists can expect a lane restriction with flagging during work hours.   


Interstate 81 North – Frailey, Foster, and Butler Townships

Crews will conduct crack sealing on Interstate 81 North, between Exit 112 (PA 25) and Exit 119 (Highridge Park Road). This will require a northbound lane restriction. PennDOT advises drivers to stay alert for slow-moving traffic in the area.
