Road opening postponed – CDT
Oh look, another deadline for i-99 has been missed by PennDOT.
PennDOT said it has set a new target date between Dec. 12 and Dec. 19 to open the northbound lanes of I-99 from Bald Eagle to Skytop and the southbound lanes from Port Matilda to Bald Eagle.
Marla Fannin, PennDOT spokeswoman, said the nine-mile I-99 section between Bald Eagle and Port Matilda under contract to New Enterprise Stone & Lime is expected to be completed by the Dec. 4 contract date.
But at the new makeshift interchange between I-99 and U.S. Route 322 at Skytop, where temporary short roads have been built and their lines painted, “quite a few” signs are still lacking and “it just isn’t safe” to open the merger without them.
