Transportation

I-80 provides direct East-West access from the Delaware River to Blakeslee,  while I-380 connects I-80 to I-84. I-380 connects to I-81 just 15 miles from the border and I-84 is even closer.

Take State Route 33 South 1/2 hour to the Lehigh Valley to connect to I-78 and State Route 22.  I-476 (the PA Turnpike Northeast Extension) is also close by.

Monroe County’s central location allows for easy access to regional, national and international markets. Many common carriers serve the county providing cost effective access by truck. Monroe County is home to FedEx Freight with a facility in Pocono Summit. Call 1-800-GoFedEx for FedEx Freight services.

With PennDOT directly responsible for approximately 40,000 roadway miles and 25,000 bridges in Pennsylvania, maintaining our transportation network takes strong partnership among the department, federal and local governments, planning partners and our communities.

The Pennsylvania Northeast Regional Railroad Authority owns 95 miles of active rail lines in northeastern Pennsylvania. Our designated regional rail operator, the Delaware-Lackawanna Railroad Co., Inc. (DLRR) provides common carrier rail freight service to more than 25 active rail industries that ship or receive over 7000 carloads per year.

The greatest advantage of our 95 mile rail system is the ability of any of our rail-using industries to have two Class I rail connections, Norfolk Southern Railroad and Canadian Pacific Railway. Our rail users have a competitive advantage in obtaining rates, since the DLRR directly interchanges with both of these Class I rail carriers.
