  4. Drivers want rail repairs to get on track

    Q: Who is responsible for repairing the hole in the railroad track on Blue Barn Road near Kuhnsville? It's in line with the left tires as you cross the tracks going south. If you swerve right to avoid the hole, the road drops off. This condition has been present for years.

  5. High cost of asphalt delays Rt. 22 repaving

    Q: PennDOT appears to be ready to repave the last section of Route 22, from the Lehigh River Bridge to the Interstate 78 split. If that's the case, why have they been causing huge traffic jams the last few weeks by closing lanes for crack-sealing? Isn't...

  6. Traffic light sensors are godsend, but tricky devils if not set right

    Q: Not long ago construction was done at Route 100 and Weilers/Schaefer Run roads in Upper Macungie Township. The corners of the intersection were widened and repaved. Prior to this, drivers on Weilers/Schaefer Run did not have to wait long at the light. I believe it was using the sensors in the road to switch the light. Since the work was completed, the light seems to be working on a timer. At rush periods there can be quite a line there; I'd say the wait can be three minutes or more. Will this signal be switched back to sensor-based function any time soon?

  7. Warrior From Page B1

    Warrior when he went to investigate. Not to worry though. Temporary road paint was used for the dashes, and they should quickly fade. The lines marked the paths for workers to follow when cutting ''control joints'' into the brand-new top layer of...

  8. Are roundabouts key to keeping motorists moving?

    Q: My wife and I were in Spain and France last year and saw firsthand all the old and new roundabouts at road intersections. They are fantastic. I think we should use nothing but roundabouts outside urban areas, and even in urban areas wherever possible....

  9. Safety, not convenience, drive daytime roadwork

    Q: What's with the grass-cutting or brush-cutting crews working in the morning during rush hours each day June 16-18, causing traffic jams on Route 22? Isn't there a better time, with less traffic, to do the job? Debi Mitch Bethlehem Township A:...

    Q: Traveling home every day on Route 22 east, crossing the Route 309 bridge, there is a really wide hole on the roadway. It's at least two to three feet across and it has been that way for weeks. Do you know why PennDOT is not fixing it? Tom Unger...

  11. Why didn't PennDOT keep timed signals on Rt. 22 ramps?

    Q: Back in 1998 PennDOT installed temporary lights to stagger traffic on the Route 22 entrance ramps to help keep highway traffic moving during construction. Afterward they spent time and money changing these lights over to a more permanent installation. The signals were used mostly during heavy traffic and rush-hour situations. Now these lights are not used at all. Why? They seemed to help in high-traffic areas!

    Of The Morning Call
    Widening Route 22 in the Lehigh Valley isn't worth the high cost, even though the road is congested and drivers would benefit, a plurality of residents said in a new poll. Another concern many cited is that expanding the highway will lead to the loss...
