Route 248 resurfacing project daytime paving in Northampton County completed

The daytime paving work of the Route 248 resurfacing project in Northampton County has been completed.

Reached Friday afternoon, PennDOT spokesman Sean Brown said any additional work to that stretch of roadway would take place at night.

“Today (Friday) was the last day of day work, and they do have night work next week, and that should conclude the project,” Brown said.

That should come as welcome news to motorists, as drivers reported waiting nearly an hour in construction traffic on Wednesday.

The 248 resurfacing project is one of several roadwork projects that are simultaneously underway, along with the 248 bridge in Carbon County, and the Main Street Bridge in Slatington/Walnutport.

Brown said the Slatington/Walnutport bridge remains on schedule to be open on or before Oct. 20, while the 248 bridge in Carbon County is still scheduled for a December completion.
