TRAVEL ADVISORY: SEPTA has informed us that they will be completing work on the railroad crossing at the intersection of Easton and Susquehanna roads from Tuesday, Sept. 3 through Monday, Sept. 9. The intersection will be CLOSED during this time. Please be aware that detour signs will divert drivers to Jenkintown Rd. to get between Fitzwatertown and Easton roads, as SEPTA is required to direct traffic to state roads only. However, please keep in mind that other local roads will remain open and accessible during this time . Please allow extra travel time during the first week of school to account for this closure.
