Part of Interstate 80 in Centre County reopens after tractor-trailer crash causes closure
A section of Interstate 80 in Centre County has reopened after a tractor-trailer crash caused an hourslong closure Friday.
Interstate 80 westbound was closed between Exit 158 (Milesburg) and Exit 147 (Snow Shoe) for about 2 1/2 hours. The road reopened around 2 p.m.
“Residual delays may be an issue for a bit, but the roadway is open,” Timothy Nebgen, safety press officer for the state Department of Transportation, wrote in an email.
During the closure, traffic was rerouted off of I-80 westbound at the Milesburg exit. Maps showed heavy traffic in the area during the closure and according to Centre County 911’s Facebook, it created a “backlog” on Interstate 99 in Bellefonte.
