Changes coming to the Pennsylvania Turnpike, delays possible

(WHTM) – The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission is advising drivers of potential delays over the next few days due to construction.

The turnpike says drivers traveling west of Reading to the Ohio line can see ORT expansion ongoing as the turnpike removes toll booths to install new gantries to electronically charge tolls.

To allow Turnpike and construction crews to safely erect the monotube gantries over the roadway, traffic paces are scheduled at the following dates and locations in both directions:

  • Tuesday, June 24, 12 a.m. to 5 a.m.: Milepost 156.1 (between Bedford and Breezewood Interchanges)

Construction will be conducted at a later date around Milepost 241.1 (between Gettysburg Pike and Harrisburg East Interchanges) and Milepost 276.2 (between Lebanon-Lancaster and Reading Interchanges).

The intermittent, 30-minute traffic paces are done overnight to minimize traffic impacts. Construction schedules are subject to change based on weather conditions.

The turnpike says the new ORT expansion will allow drivers to be tolled by E-ZPass or By Plate without stopping or slowing down.

The full ORT system is expected to be launched on the western stretch of the turnpike’s mainline by 2027.
