Route 412 Construction Project Expands This Week
Single lane of traffic from Daly Avenue to Hellertown in force beginning Monday until March 2014.
The length of the Route 412 construction zone will get longer today as PennDOT continues executing a $36 million plan to widen the road that connects Interstate 78 to Bethlehem.
Where Route 412 still has two lanes in either direction—along the length of the project between Daly Avenue and Wagner Avenue in Hellertown—it will be cut down to one.
