Starting Monday, those orange cones that seem to signify Pennsylvania’s summer will be populating East Main Street as the Bradford Water Authority’s lead abatement project begins there.

Executive Director Steve Disney said Mortimer’s Excavating will begin construction near East Avenue and proceed toward the intersection with Kendall Avenue.

“Most of this work is going to be in the street,” Disney said. He acknowledged that with the road work on the U.S. Route 219 Bradford Bypass, travel may be slow-going around the city.

“They are going to be working Monday through Thursdays, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.,” Disney said of the Mortimer’s crew. They are expecting the project to go until the end of the year.
