Part of Rt. 412 to Become Single Lane Monday: PennDOT
PennDOT has announced that road work will reduce a busy two-lane section of Route 412 to a single lane through March 30, 2014. The work is part of an ongoing widening project.
If you thought navigating traffic near the Route 412 exit on I-78 was already challenging, you may want to brace yourself for a reassessment.
PennDOT—which is coordinating —announced Tuesday that "traffic will be reduced from two lanes to a single lane on (Route) 412 north and south for roadway widening work" through March 30, 2014.
PennDOT Engineering District 5-0 spokesman Sean Brown confirmed that it's a section of the road that's two lanes in one direction that will temporarily be reduced to one lane.
