Roadwork
Monroe County · next 30 daysPlanned roadwork in Monroe County, PA. It comes from PennDOT District 5 notices and releases, the answers PennDOT and other offices send us by email, and local traffic roundups. “Confirmed” means PennDOT or the office doing the work has said it. “Awaiting” means we have asked and do not have an answer yet, so check 511PA before you head out.
Last updated Oct. 30. We update this page every week, and whenever something changes.
