A big change is coming in the city of Harrisburg later this week. One of Harrisburg’s main thoroughfares – Second Street – will switching from one-way to two-way traffic in a two mile stretch.

Second Street will be two-way between Division and Forster Streets. There will be roundabouts at Verbeke, Reily and Kelker Streets.

Matt Maisel, the city’s Director of Communications, told Tuesday's Smart Talk that the switch to two-way was done in the name of safety.

Second Street has been a one-way street since 1956.
