If you’re heading to Pocono this weekend, special traffic patterns will be put into effect on Sunday to help motorists attending the AXALTA Pocono 400 NASCAR race at the Pocono Raceway in Long Pond.
Prior to the race, Route 115, from Interstate 80 to the raceway, will be converted to two lanes southbound. This conversion will be put into effect at about 9 a.m. and continue until all traffic has entered the track grounds.
Following the race, Route 115, from the raceway to I-80, will be converted to two lanes northbound, until the raceway lots are cleared. Traffic will not be allowed to travel south on Route 115 from I-80 and the I-80 eastbound off-ramp at Blakeslee Exit 284, will be closed to traffic.
State police say motorists should expect higher traffic volume and possible delays not only on Route 115 and I-80, but also on routes 209, 940 and 903.
