That’s along the north side of the Lehigh Valley International Airport property, about a half mile west of the intersection of Airport and Schoenersville roads.
Police said contact was made with a total of 165 motorists during the five-hour checkpoint, whose purpose was to help maintain a safe environment for the motoring public.
