Golden Slipper Road is set to close next week for nearly two months.

Bright orange detour signs are posted, giving drivers a heads up a closure is coming to Golden Slipper Road in Pocono Township. 

People who live in the Barton Glen community that is connected to Golden Slipper Road are bracing for a long two months of construction. 

"There's a lot of traffic that goes up Golden Slipper Road, so it's going to affect a lot of people," said Allison Quinn.

"There are 350 homes in the development, and it's their lifeline," said resident Craig Wortman.
