Residents and commuters in Duncan Township, Tioga County, should prepare for detours and traffic delays as a critical infrastructure repair starts today. According to a PennDOT announcement, Antrim Main Street (Route 3009) will be closed between Hall Road and A Street to accommodate the replacement of a failing pipe.
The closure is slated for a brief stint from today through September 20. During this time, a detour routing traffic through A Street and Hall Road has been established to guide vehicles around the construction zone. PennDOT urges drivers to be vigilant amid the changes, slow down and anticipate longer travel times.
For those dependent on live updates to navigate their routes, real-time traffic conditions can be monitored via the 511PA website or smartphone apps available for iPhone and Android. Designed to ease the headache of commuting, 511PA offers traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, speed data, and the views from over 1,000 traffic cameras. And the service is also accessible by dialing 5-1-1 or following specific local social media accounts.
The project underscores the perpetual need to maintain and upgrade aging infrastructure, a reality often only acknowledged in moments of disruption. Those looking for additional updates and alerts for the regions of Tioga, Bradford, Lycoming, Union and beyond, can head over to PennDOT's webpage dedicated to district news, where subscriptions to traffic notifications are available.
