Tyson Criticizes PennDOT Over Rt 34 Rebuild Timing
Adams County orchardist Ralph Tyson blasts PennDOT for delaying Rt 34 repairs near Biglerville and Gardners. He says 15 years of pleading failed and traffic detours hurt his roadside market and local fruit stands during apple harvest. Local drivers miss guided detour notices, sustaining losses as crews work on the rail underpass and highway lowering.
