Route 309 Repairs Wrapping Up
Repairs to Route 309 in the Hazleton area should be completed by Friday afternoon. That means the traffic delays should also clear.

PennDOT said the $370,000 project to repave sections of Route 309 was needed because the road became slick when it rained. Hazleton officials blamed it for several crashes.

Crews have worked on the pavement all week, backing up traffic.

PennDOT expects to wrap up the work Friday afternoon. Line painting will be done early next week.
