PENNSYLVANIA - It's not uncommon to find a road closed due to
construction, flooding or if a bridge is out. However, five
miles of road will be closed in Pennsylvania for quite a
different reason: procreation. The paved path that passes
through the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area will
be blocked off so salamanders, frogs and other amphibians can
get it on without being run over. The park service says it will
periodically close River Road when it rains at night so the
creatures can slither their way across the road to wetlands
where they mate. So if the sign is a-blockin', don't come a-
knockin'.
