(Rochester, PA) The Rochester Police Department is advising parents that Jefferson Street has become a primary detour route due to the closure of Adams Street.

Police said traffic has increased significantly in the area, along with a rise in violations, and officers are increasing patrols.

Officials are urging parents to keep children from playing near or in the roadway and to avoid riding bikes, scooters or skateboards on Jefferson Street.

Parents are also encouraged to monitor their children’s activities and reinforce safe behavior around roadways.
