Truck Rollover Partially Blocks Off Ramp at PA Turnpike’s Bensalem Interchange Westbound motorists should anticipate delays at exit.

The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission advises motorists that a cleanup operation will be taking place on the westbound off ramp at the Bensalem Interchange (Exit #351) this afternoon. The cleanup is the result of an overturned tractor trailer on the right off ramp. Westbound exiting traffic is now getting past the incident scene in the left lane, but crews did completely close both westbound ramps earlier this afternoon to upright the tractor trailer. The breached trailer contains 80,000 lbs. of mushroom soil, half of which has spilled over the bank. Turnpike officials expect to have the ramp reopened in time for rush hour.
