Clearfield, PA – Paving is scheduled this week for Route 3002 (Wetmore Road) in McKean County, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT).  

This Wednesday, July 14 through Tuesday, July 20, drivers will encounter crews performing paving operations along the length of Wetmore Road in Hamilton Township. The road will remain open, but drivers may encounter intermittent closures of sections of the roadway while paving takes place. Such closures will require drivers to turn around and take additional time and effort to reach their destinations. Drivers familiar with the area may choose to use alternate routes. PennDOT thanks motorists for their patience during this paving work. 

Work hours are currently set for 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. each day. 

Wetmore Road will be fully open at the end of each work day.

Work may take place on Saturday, July 17.

There will be no work on Sunday, July 18.
