🚧 Road improvements are underway in Pittston! Resurfacing began last week on Main Street, bringing important infrastructure improvements to our city years ahead of schedule.

Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming Michael B. Carroll, Secretary of PennDOT, to Pittston to discuss these improvements and the importance of investing in our local roadways.

We know roadwork can be an inconvenience, but these improvements are a necessary investment in Pittston’s future and the thousands of people who travel through our city every day. We appreciate everyone’s patience during construction and look forward to enjoying smoother, safer roadways once the project is complete!

Thank you to Governor Josh Shapiro, Secretary Carroll, the PennDOT team, Senator Marty Flynn, Rep. Jim Haddock, and everyone working to make these improvements possible. We appreciate your commitment to our community!
