STOCKERTOWN BOROUGH, Pa. \u2014 Drivers who use Route 33 in Northampton County should prepare for upcoming lane restrictions, traffic crossovers, and ramp closures starting Friday.<\/p>\n
As part of the ongoing Route 33 bridge replacement project over Bushkill Creek, PennDOT announced that traffic pattern changes will take effect beginning July 10 in Stockertown Borough and Palmer Township.<\/p>\n
Route 33 North will be reduced to a single lane between Main Street (Tatamy exit) and Route 191, according to officials. Northbound traffic will then be switched over to the Route 33 South side via a median crossover.<\/p>\n
The construction work will also require two major ramp closures:<\/p>\n

Drivers needing to bypass the ramp closures will be directed along a signed detour using Main Street in Tatamy, Sullivan Trail, Main Street in Stockertown, and Route 191, according to officials.<\/p>\n
PennDOT contractors will maintain the 24-hour restrictions through an estimated completion date of August 14. Motorists are urged to use extra caution when traveling through the work zone and to plan for potential traffic delays.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"STOCKERTOWN BOROUGH, Pa. \u2014 Drivers who use Route 33 in Northampton County should prepare for upcoming lane restrictions,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":214973,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[214,153,155,154,1391,6290,5750,434,1704],"class_list":["post-239641","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-bethlehem","tag-_homepage_top_stories","tag-bethlehem","tag-bethlehem-headlines","tag-bethlehem-news","tag-bethlehem-area","tag-easton-area","tag-nazareth-northampton-area","tag-northampton-county","tag-traffic"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239641","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=239641"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239641\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/214973"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=239641"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=239641"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=239641"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
