The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission is advising motorists of possible delays due to intermittent he Pennsylvania Turnpike traffic stoppages in Bedford County between the Somerset (Exit #10) and Bedford (Exit #11) Interchanges at mileposts 142.3 on Tuesday, March 31, 1998.

All lanes of traffic, east and westbound will be subject to stoppages between 8:00 A.M. and 3:00 P.M. Each stop will last no longer than 15 minutes.
