​Montoursville – A Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) maintenance crew in Tioga County is set to begin a reclamation project on Route 1018 (Pony Hill Road) in Jackson Township.

Pony Hill Road will be closed to traffic during the working hours with a detour using Jackson Center Road, Route 328 and Bear Creek Road. Motorist should drive with caution in the area and expect delays.
