Road Work Update
PENNDOT has completed the majority of the work on Adams Street and the road has been re-opened. In the coming weeks, there will be intermittent lane closures as several items are completed with the project.
To all residents, businesses and people who were impacted by the project, we sincerely thank you for your patience during the work on Adams Street.
