Motorists traveling on Interstate 81 north or south, in Schuylkill County, are advised to be alert for significant traffic delays over the Thanksgiving Day holiday weekend.
I-81 north and south is reduced to a single lane between Exit 90 (PA 72) and Exit 104 (PA 125) due to a highway construction project in Pine Grove and Tremont townships.
PennDOT is advising motorists to stay alert, anticipate slow-moving or stopped traffic and if possible seek alternate routes.
All lanes are expected to be open for the winter in this area of I-81 north and south on or before December 22. After the winter there will be daytime lane restrictions weekdays.
Work is expected to be complete in May 2017.
