🚗 Route 611 is Now Open! 🚗

I’m happy to share that Route 611 from Delaware Water Gap to Portland is officially open again! After nearly two years, traffic is moving in a single lane with signal controls, bringing relief to our region’s daily commutes and local businesses.

To our residents and businesses, thank you for your continued voice and connection with my staff and me - I know this was a devastating prolonged closure. Ultimately, this took strong pressure and a collaborative effort from local, state, and federal partners. Thank you to PennDOT’s contractor did a great job with roadway grading, realignment, and safety improvements - working promptly and efficiently.

🔴 Reminder: When approaching the light, ensure you drive all the way up to trigger the signal! The wait should only be a hand full of minutes. Remember, only drive on a green signal, and vehicles over 8 feet wide are still restricted.

Meet Rosemary Brown

Northeast Pennsylvania has been my home since I was five; my husband, Joe and I, have raised our three children here and are grateful to live in the beautiful Pocono Mountains to enjoy the unique opportunities this portion of our state has to offer.

The foundation of my life has always been centered around God, my family, and doing my best each day. While I never promise perfection, I do promise hard work and care for our community with an extremely grateful spirit. This is how I truly try to live my life, but it also makes me a better public servant for you.
