Route 1017 roadwork begins

PennDOT will be performing milling and paving work on Route 1017 (Delaware Drive) between Mill Rift Road and Avenue C beginning Monday, May 20 through the second week of June. Delaware Drive will be closed between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. Emergency personnel and school buses will be granted access while work is being done. Motorists are encouraged to take an alternate route to avoid major delays in the Mill Rift area.

When encountering a work zone, PennDOT asks that motorists drive the posted speed limit, turn on headlights, pay close attention to signs and flaggers, and avoid all distractions. In high-traffic locations, motorists are encouraged to use both lanes of travel to the merge point and take turns merging into the open lane.

Motorists can check conditions on major roadways by visiting 511PA.com, a free traffic information hub available 24 hours a day with access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras.
