Rolling Stops Next Week on I-81 and I-78 in Lebanon County
Traffic counters installation/removal scheduled
Harrisburg, PA – Motorists in Lebanon County are advised a contractor is scheduled to install and then remove traffic counters next week on Interstate 81 and Interstate 78 approaching the I-81/I-78 split in Union Township. Crash trucks operated by Lebanon County PennDOT crews will perform rolling stops so equipment cables can be placed across both interstates.
Traffic counters will be installed on northbound and southbound I-81, and eastbound and westbound I-78 between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM on Tuesday, November 2.
The counters will be removed during the same hours on Thursday, November 4.
Rolling stops of up to 15 minutes will be implemented while this work is performed.
Delays are expected. Motorists should be alert and drive with caution as they approach the work area. They should be on the lookout for stopped or slow-moving traffic.
511PA is also available through a smartphone application for iPhone and Android devices, by calling 5-1-1, or by following regional Twitter alerts accessible on the 511PA website.
