BRIEF
STOPPAGES, LANE RESTRICTIONS SCHEDULED Traffic
stoppages are scheduled for next week, weather permitting, in the vicinity
of the Gateway toll plaza on Interstate 76 near the Ohio line as crews
resume an ongoing project to erect permanent signs that will serve
motorists leaving and coming onto the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Single-lane
patterns eastbound and westbound also will be part of the mix of periodic
traffic restrictions. Sign work is scheduled for Monday, April 7 west of
the mainline barrier and for Wednesday, April 9 east of the toll plaza. Work
begun on Monday may spill over into Tuesday morning but it would affect
eastbound traffic only. Two
stoppages affecting all traffic are scheduled for Monday morning, at
approximately 9 am and 10:30 am. They should not exceed 15 minutes. Five
more stoppages affecting eastbound traffic only are scheduled during
afternoon hours on Monday. On
Wednesday, up to two stoppages affecting eastbound and westbound traffic
(but not both directions simultaneously) are scheduled between 8 am and
noon. Ultimately, the Turnpike Commission
will have eight new overhead signs (four static signs and four electronic
message boards) in the area. Four will serve westbound traffic approaching
the Gateway plaza from the east. Four will serve eastbound traffic
approaching the Gateway plaza from the west.
The
sign work is to conclude before Memorial Day. |
