Roberts Memorial Bridge at Lake Don Pedro continues to generate ten-minute round-the-clock delays.
Along Highway 49, expect brief traffic hiccups Tuesday between Highway 108 and Jackass Hill Road as striping is underway under a moving closure from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, a utility crew will be busy on Fifth Avenue in Jamestown from 6 a.m. until 6 p.m.
