Line painting will take place this week along Route 48 (Scenery Drive) in Elizabeth Township.
The work will take place between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. today through Wednesday, with single-lane alternating traffic starting at the intersection with Round Hill Road. Flaggers will be in the area to direct traffic through the work zone.
Motorists are being advised by PennDOT to stay at least 250 feet behind line-painting equipment to avoid damage to their vehicles. Drivers should also avoid passing line-painting equipment unless directed to do so by a flagger or paint crew member.
Passing too quickly can cause damage to fresh paint lines and may result in paint on the motorist’s vehicle. Line-painting vehicles normally pull over every two and one-half miles or when safety permits. Technological advancements on the mix of formulas have produced fast-dry paints that are dry to the touch within two to three minutes. It is crucial to stay off these lines during the curing period.
