CLEARFIELD — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is advising motorists that temporary flagging, followed by temporary automatic flagging devices, will be in place soon on a section of Fox Hill Road in Potter County.

A large volume of truck traffic is travelling from a gas well site on Tom May Road in Ulysses Township and moving through the intersection of Fox Hill Road (Route 1001) and Tom May Road (T-455). To facilitate traffic movement and enhance safety at the intersection, flaggers will be place as early as today.

Starting in early March, the flaggers will be assisted by temporary automatic flagging devices and warning signs on Fox Hill Road. The temporary automatic flagging devices will be short and portable and will be located on each side of the intersection. Advance signage on Fox Hill Road will include message boards displaying the messages “Construction entrance ahead” and “Trucks entering highway”. Signage on the temporary devices will direct drivers to “Stop here on red signal.”

PennDOT expects this traffic pattern to be in place through early June and reminds motorists to be alert for these changes at the intersection.
