In the past weeks, the Borough’s Contractor, Pioneer Construction has been hard at work to implement the repair and upgrades to the stormwater system in the area. The project is intended to be a permanent solution for the recent flooding problems experienced at the Vine Street/Commercial Street/Terrace Street area. In the coming week, there will be Terrace Street Lane closures during the day on Monday March 30, and beginning Tuesday night March 31, Terrace Street will be fully closed in this area for overnight work from 9 pm to 6 am, with a detour in place.
Borough officials appreciate the continued patience and cooperation of area residents during this construction.
