TRAFFIC ADVISORY

LANE RESTRICTIONS SCHEDULED FOR THIS WEEKEND BETWEEN IRWIN AND NEW STANTON INTERCHANGES


Motorists on the Pennsylvania Turnpike mainline will encounter single-lane patterns from MP 71.5 to MP 73 eastbound and westbound. Weather permitting, single-lane patterns will be in effect for a 36-hour period starting at midnight on Friday, March 20 until noon on Sunday, March 22.
