PENN: Roadwork in Jennersville

The much-needed widening work at the Jennersville intersection is proceeding and, so far at least, I haven't encountered any but the usual (afternoon rush hour) traffic jams. The workers are carving every possible inch of right-of-way out of the corner properties so that they can add turning lanes. While I was sitting at the traffic light I watched the backhoe operator smoothing some earth he had just dug up. Even using his massive clawed metal bucket, he was tapping the earth so precisely and gently that it looked like he was giving it a massage.
