Youngsville Barricades To Stay On Route 6
PennDOT district engineer Louis Kisseleff says barricades on Route 6 near Youngsville will likely remain to protect left turns even if a traffic signal is installed. A signal could cost up to $30,000 and require a sophisticated system due to proximity to a railroad line. The borough has two choices: accept the state’s recommendations and proceed with a permit or drop the plan. No decision from Youngsville officials has been reported.
