The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) advises drivers that a rolling roadblock will be in effect Wednesday, January 18 on I-99, in Spring Township, Centre County. The rolling roadblocks are expected to begin around 11:00 A.M.
The rolling road blocks are necessary so that Daversa Construction Corp. can install a new fiber optic cable on existing utility poles. Work will take place on I-99 near the area of the I-80, Bellefonte/161 interchange. The work is expected to be complete by 2:00 P.M. The roadblocks will result in stopped and slowed traffic along I-99 northbound and southbound and drivers need to remain alert for those conditions and allow for extra travel time.
Pennsylvania State Police will be on site to enhance safety while the roadblocks are in effect. Drivers will also be able to find updated information and notification of the delays on roadside message boards.
