Nightly turnpike ramp closures to begin in New Stanton
The ramp for motorists heading from southbound Route 119 to the Pennsylvania Turnpike interchange at New Stanton will be subject to nighttime closures for repairs beginning Wednesday.
The nightly closures will be from 7 p.m. to about 6 a.m. and are expected to continue through July 25, depending on weather conditions.
A posted detour will direct motorists to head west on Interstate 70 and then take the Hunker exit. Detour signs will guide drivers through two roundabouts and onto I-70 eastbound, where they can enter the turnpike.
