York Road Lane Closure This Evening
The Borough has been notified by PennDOT that there will be a lane closure this evening on York Road between Greenwood Avenue and Washington Lane. The lane closure is expected to take place between 9:00 PM and 6:00 AM. This lane closure will be in place so that PECO can safely install gas services to customers at 203 York Road and 1125 Old York Road.

Please make plans to take an alternate route during the time listed to avoid further disruption to your travels. Thank you for your patience and understanding while this utility work takes place.
