Drivers beware. A major highway construction project is underway in part of Schuylkill County and it will be changing the way people get around the area for the next two years.
Route 309, which is Kennedy Drive, is being totally gutted and rebuilt. McAdoo borough leaders say the ultimate goal of this construction work is to have the entire length of Kennedy Drive, redone.
The first part of the project is taking place between Blaine Street and Washington Street.
If all goes as planned, the $10 million project will be completed at the end of 2021.

Funding for the project came from a combination of federal and state grants. Only about $250,000 of borough money is being used for the project.
