Updated: Route 202 Lane Reductions Oct. 16, 17-21

Southbound traffic will stop for 15 minutes at a time in the early mornings.

Updated: PennDOT has changed the work on Oct. 15 to Oct. 16:

There has been a change in the schedule.  No work will be performed Saturday (Oct. 15) due to strong wind gusts (a sign structure is to be removed).  The contractor will now work Sunday (Oct. 16) from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m., closing the southbound right lane.  There will be a brief southbound traffic stoppage Monday (Oct. 17) after midnight to remove the sign structure.
