Route 8 and the Yankee Expressway (also known as I-84 to non-locals) act as the primary roads leading in and out of the city center. The William W. Deady Bridge handles travel on both of these roadways, and commuters can expect a degree of heavy congestion leading over the bridge on most days.

What are the local media outlets?

The 'Polish Eagles' radio program found a home on local station WATR in 1934, and it continues to this day, making it the longest running show in the entire country.
