Expect More Traffic Tie-Ups

Get used to the traffic delays on Bolivar Drive and East Main Street.

PennDOT says work will continue next week on Bolivar Drive with flaggers present and drivers should expect alternating traffic patterns and travel-time delays.

Some motorists told us they were stopped for about 15 minutes on Thursday. Traffic was bumper-to-bumper from Bolivar Drive to South Kendall Avenue many times during the day.
