Story by Beaver County Radio News Correspondent Sandy Giordano

(Center Twp., Beaver County, Pa.) Center Township Police and the Municipal  building staff have been inundated with complaints about loose stones on Center Grange, Chapel, and Monaca Roads from recent tarring and chipping done by a contractor hired by PennDOT.  A response to  Police Chief Barry Kramer from PennDOT was, “We have to wait a few days and sweep the roads.” The project is complete, but the problem  still exists.  Motorists are advised to drive slower  to avoid kicking up stones into oncoming or following traffic, according to Police Chief Barry Kramer. A township  employee reported that a contractor was driving too fast  kicking up stones on the road causing headaches for  motorists.
