LEHIGHTON, Pa. It s a slow go for drivers on Route 443 in Lehighton because of PennDOT s reconstruction project. It s a pain before they even started the construction. The traffic backs up sometimes on the weekend it ll be back up to the bridge coming all the way in, said Austin Roth of Lehighton.
But it s even slower for the businesses along the road.
