PennDot Line Painting Crews At Work

Summer is the busy construction time here in Western Pennsylvania, and PennDOT has no shortage of work so far just a few days into the new season. Mowing crews have been highly visible around Washington County highways already, and now line painting crews are making their mark. In 2021, District 12 was able to complete 7,139-line miles of painting. Higher volume routes are always first priority and some major roads in the Washington area have already seen the trucks roll through. PennDOT says most roads in the district will see new line paint, and only low-volume roads that can not accommodate the paint trucks will be omitted. If you see the paint truck convoy, try not to drive on the new paint for about 90 seconds so that it won’t track or smear. PennDOT is always willing to hear driver feedback on their work and they take customer claims seriously. Do not hesitate to reach out to the organization if there are any issues with paint damage to your vehicle.
