The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation announced Monday lane restrictions will be in place on stretches of Interstate 81 in Lackawanna County through Friday.
Drivers will encounter the restrictions on I-81 southbound beginning at mile marker 201 (East Benton) from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., I-81 northbound beginning at mile marker 197 (Waverly) from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and I-81 northbound beginning at mile marker 190 (Main Avenue Dickson City) from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., PennDOT officials said.
When traveling through a work zone, motorists should drive the speed limit, turn on their headlights, pay attention to signs and flaggers, and avoid all distractions, PennDOT officials said. Additionally, drivers should use both lanes of travel and take turns merging into the open lane in high-traffic locations.
