Vehicle and pedestrian traffic will be detoured, and temporary traffic signals will be installed along the route. Pedestrians will be able to use State Street during the Tall Ships Erie Festival. And the City of Erie is making some traffic changes and prohibiting parking on some streets to help prevent congestion due to the planned State Street closing. Drivers traveling between the bayfront and downtown will be detoured onto Holland Street, East Third Street and the Bayfront Parkway. Vehicles will be able to access the waterfront side of the parkway using Holland and East Front and Sassafras street and West Front street extensions. Pedestrians will be routed along West Third Street, Holland Street and East Front Street. Walkways will be provided along State Street from Aug. 21-24 to accommodate foot traffic to and from Tall Ships Erie. Temporary traffic lights and push-button pedestrian signals will be installed on East Third Street at Holland and French streets. The pedestrian push-button system already in place at Holland Street and the parkway will be updated to include audible messages. The signals will remain in place through continued construction on the parkway. Because the portion of lower State Street will close and "in the interest of community access, public safety and response times," the City of Erie will implement detours and parking restrictions beginning July 14.

State Street will become a bridge over the parkway when construction at the intersection is completed. Completed and planned improvements along the downtown portion of the parkway also include roundabouts at Sassafras Street Extension and Holland Street and a pedestrian bridge at Holland Street. At Holland Street: Early work for construction of pedestrian bridge to begin More information about the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation's Central Bayfront Parkway Project is available on the department's website and Facebook group.

June full moon in Scorpio 2025: How often is there a strawberry moon? Watch tonight's sky
June's full moon, also known as the rare strawberry moon will appear tonight next to the bright red 'heart of the Scorpion' star, Antares in the constellation Scorpius during a Major Lunar Standstill. Here's what it all means. This month's special strawberry full moon will be the lowest full moon in decades because we are near what's called a Major Lunar Standstill — a phenomenon that occurs every 18.6 years when the moon's orbit is tilted at its maximum angle, reaching its highest and lowest points in the sky. Here's what to know about June's full strawberry moon, the moon phases and the summer solstice. The strawberry moon will reach peak illumination at 3:44 a.m. on June 11, 2025, according to the Almanac. To catch a glimpse, find a location with unobstructed views of the horizon. Click here to see moonrise and moonset times in your area. 🌓 First Quarter: June 2. 🌕 Full Moon: June 11. 🌗 Last Quarter: June 18. 🌑 New Moon: June 25. Similar to April's pink moon, June's strawberry moon gets its name from the seasonal berry harvest, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac. Ripening berries are traditionally ready to be harvested around this time in the northeastern United States. Albeit, while strawberries are in fact a reddish-pink color, the color of the moon is not reflective of the 'strawberry' name, but rather it gets its reddish glow when it is closer to the horizon and the light rays pass through the densest layers of the atmosphere. The June solstice will mark the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere as it heralds the start of the new season of summer, which this year will begin at 10:42 p.m. ET on June 20, 2025. The July full moon, known as the buck moon, will be visible on July 10, 2025. This article originally appeared on Erie Times-News: June full moon 2025: What time will tonight's strawberry moon appear

Six planets in the solar system will be visible in the earth sky this June. According to the Farmers' Almanac , Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn and Neptune will be visible throughout June. Jupiter will be visible only early in the month. Here's more on what you can find in the sky this June. The Farmers' Almanac states that Mercury will be visible in the sky west of the sunset until July 6. More: Cicadas are emerging in Pennsylvania, but you may not be hearing them yet. Here's why Venus will be visible throughout June. According to NASA, Venus will be the most visible approximately 2 hours before sunrise, "...shines brightly, low in the eastern sky..." each morning throughout June. NASA states the planet will be visible in the west for a few hours post-sunset throughout June, dropping lower in the sky as the month progresses. The Farmers' Almanac says Saturn will be visible by looking east and southeast before sunrise all month. NASA notes Saturn will rise around 3 a.m. in the early portion of June, and by 1 a.m. as July approaches. Neptune will appear to the lower left corner of Saturn. You will have to look east and southeast before the sunrise all month. Jupiter will be visible at a very low position in the sky looking westward the first week of June. From the second week on, the sun's glare will render viewing impossible according to NASA. Jupiter will be visible in the morning sky in July. Could an asteroid strike Earth?: NASA is tracking asteroid that is closing in on our planet Uranus and Pluto will not be visible this month, according to the Farmers' Almanac. Both Jupiter and Uranus are predicted to be visible in the sky during July. Pluto is very difficult to see, even with a backyard telescope, as it looks fainter than most stars.
