These newly painted lines will definately help the motorists in every type of driving conditions from now on. In addition to the line painting noted above, PennDOT and the Borough of Riverside participate in what is called the Agility Program. This is when both organizations jointly participate in highway maintenance programs and assist one another in their respective areas. Because of this, PennDOT oiled and chipped Pine Swamp Hollow Road in the Borough free of charge. This roadway is prone to potholes due to both water because of underground springs and lack of sunlight due to its tree-lined shoulders which hinder the roadway from drying out thoroughly.
Water is the number one cause of roadway problems.
Since the road surface was re-done, it is free from potholes. However, please use caution when driving on it because there is still a lot of loose gravel which may affect your tire traction by way of your tire sliding when turning and also causing longer braking distances. So please use extra caution when driving on this roadway. Now in service is a brand new dry hydrant located near the new Danville-Riverside river bridge. A dry hydrant is a fire hydrant that is not hooked up to a water line, rather there is a large pipe underground with the end going into a water source.
