Sometimes you drive by a crew working along the road and wonder what the workers are doing, especially if it's not a big project like paving a stretch of road or rehabbing a bridge.
Well, there's a lot of maintenance work that's done by the York County maintenance office of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, and we try to publish a list of its scheduled work every week.
The scope of the work often isn't spelled out, but now PennDOT has detailed descriptions of the activities on its web site: www.state.pa.us for those who are interested. Click on "What is Maintenance?" on the right side.
For example, pipe replacement is a year-round activity, and pipes are typically installed prior to repaving or sealing the pavement surface, the snippet on pipe replacement and cleaning states.
Did you know that more than 70 percent of the pipe installed in the state is plastic because of its durability and ease of handling? The remaining 30 percent is split between metal and concrete.
