JACKSON TWP — Route 528 between Route 68 and Interstate 79 was back open to traffic this morning.

A portion of the road was closed over the weekend while construction crews were building a four-way intersection connecting Jo Deener Drive and Tomlinson Drive, according to a news release from the state Department of Transportation.

The new traffic intersection will eliminate the current intersection at Route 528 and Jo Deener Drive at a bend on Route 528. An extension is being built for Jo Deener Drive to its new intersection with Tomlinson Drive.

Another portion of the road is reduced to one lane of traffic with a temporary stoplight while PennDOT is doing a paving and bridge replacement project
