The 65-mile section of the eastbound Pennsylvania Turnpike will now remain open tonight and the detour is canceled. Crews successfully completed the recovery and cleanup operation by working with the right lane closed.

The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission would like to thank everyone involved for their cooperation and hard work during this recovery effort.
