he Philadelphia Regional Port Authority has entered into a lease
with Philly Ro-Ro Partners to bring
a car-finishing import business to Pier 98 Annex on the
Philadelphia waterfront. Auto manufacturersHyundai and Kia
anticipate 150,000 vehicles per year will be imported through the
Port of Philadelphiato start.
he facility will create 415 direct and indirect port-related
jobs, including 276 full-time jobs forlongshoremen and Teamsters,
who will unload the vehicles and prepare them for sale.
Use Road-Damage Hotlineto Report Poor Road
ConditionsThe Pennsylvania Department of Trans-
portations (PennDOT) toll-free road main-
tenance hotline is available for residents
to report potholes and other problems
with state roads.
Based on the callers phone number,
calls are directed to local PennDOT
maintenance facilities where problems
can receive the appropriate attention.
In addition to reporting potholes, mo-
torists may also report missing highway
signs, shoulder drop-offs, roadway
washouts and other potential haz-
ards.
Once notified, PennDOT will ac-
tively work to address pothole and
other roadway concerns when the
weather permits. Motorists can
also log on to 511pa.com or call511 from any phone to check
traffic conditions on major road-
