I-99 lanes now open – CDT
The northbound lanes of Interstate 99 between Port Matilda and Skytop Mountain, and the southbound lanes from Port Matilda into Blair County are now open to traffic.
These lanes were scheduled to be opened on Dec. 4, but the roadway marking was not complete On Dec. 11, the next scheduled opening, there was snow/ice causing yet another delay.
Looking at the photographs attached to the story, it appears PennDOT isn’t posting i-99 signs north of the previous terminus for some reason, even though the road is continuous. It doesn’t make sense, but as far as I am concerned, that’s a great idea — they ought to dump the i-99 routing altogether since it so flagrantly violates the numbering grid. Call I-270 or I-280 instead.
