"While a $1.3 billion construction season is good news for Pennsylvania in terms of road and bridge improvements, there also exists the potential for travel delays caused by construction work zones," said State Transportation Secretary Allen D. Biehler, P.E. "To help with travel planning, we encourage motorists to visit our online construction map and find the locations where travel delays may exist so they can plan accordingly."
The Web site for statewide work zone information for interstates and other major routes can be found via the PA PowerPort keyword "construction". Motorists can also get the information from the PennDOT Web site directly by clicking on the link, "Statewide Construction Map."
This year's site identifies work zone locations on interstates and other major routes across the state. Clicking on a specific work site will reveal the length of restriction and duration of the work. The site also provides regional telephone numbers for additional information as well as project-specific links to some of the larger projects now underway.
Motorists should plan ahead by checking for possible travel delays, adding extra time into their schedules and having a plan to use alternate routes.
