The jack-knifed tractor-trailer created miles-long backups for commuters Tuesday morning.
Pennsylvania State police cited the driver of a tractor-trailer involved in an accident Tuesday morning on Interstate 79 in Marshall Township. The accident occurred just before 6 a.m. in southbound lanes, just a few hundred feet south of Wexford Run Road. The morning rush hour was reduced to a crawl as traffic backed up beyond the I-79/PA Turnpike interchange. According to the police report, truck driver Tomasz Grodzki, 38 of Stroudsburg, was following too closely to the vehicle in front of him. When the driver of the vehicle in front of the truck hit the brakes, Grodzki lost control of his rig, swerving first to the right, and then to the left across all three lanes of traffic before coming to rest in the left berm of the road. No one …

Motorists on I-79 can expect more congestion near the exit to Seneca Valley’s secondary campus with new lane restrictions. Plus, road improvements on Route 19 in Marshall continue to tie up traffic.
Cranberry area commuters may not be able to catch a traffic break for several more months. On Tuesday, PennDOT announced the closure of the travel lanes on Interstate 79 North and South near the Zelienople exit.

Located near a historic path once used by Native Americans, the neo-colonial style neighborhood has a long history in the area .
After seven years in the making, a new neighborhood is now emerging on the greens of a former golf course located off Freeport Road in Marshall Township, right on the border with Cranberry and Seven Fields. Situated on the former fairways, the Venango Trails community when completed will feature 473 homes and townhouses on about 150 acres. The community's name is derived from the Venango Path, a historic Native American trail that runs through the area. “Our vision from inception, quite simply, was to create the best new neighborhood in the north suburbs,” said Brett Malky, president of EQA Landmark Communities, the development manager. “We are elated with our progress.” Developers earlier this year began work on the first phase of the …

The music venue and restaurant opened in late February.
For more than 20 years, Rick Jergel and his brothers, Hank and Tim, ran the well-known Jergel’s restaurant and music venue on Babcock Boulevard in the North Hills. Despite their success, Jergel said that by 2006, he and his brothers were ready for a change. With relaxation on their minds, they sold the restaurant. “We just wanted a break,” he said. It didn’t last long. As it turned out, Jergel missed the restaurant and music business too much to stay away forever. Partnering with experienced restaurateur Ron Sofranko, Jergel in late February opened the Jergel’s Rhythm Grille in Warrendale. Formerly a health club, the sprawling 20,000 square-foot, two-story structure is a combination live music venue and restaurant that serves up a full …

More than just roadways will link Cranberry and Marshall townships in the future. The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources recently awarded Marshall a $240,000 grant to construct a trail segment that will link the community with neighboring Cranberry along Brush Creek. The DCNR money will fund the development of 1.35 miles of walkway from Allegheny Commons in the south to Thorn Hill Industrial Park in Cranberry, according to Cranberry Township. The project will expand Marshall’s trail system and align it with the bicycle and pedestrian master plan that Cranberry’s board of supervisors adopted last year. Planners from both communities will meet this month as part of an ongoing dialogue about this and future trail connections, …

Erik Sigal, Brittanny Jenkins and Christina Naill face charges in a number of townships.
