PSU fans to see traffic jams ease in 2008 – Patriot-News
Widening on the stretch of US 22/322 through infamous Lewistown Narrows is still a year away from being completed, but there will be a little relief this football season. Drivers in both directions will use the newly built westbound lanes while the original-and-future-eastbound lanes will be rebuilt. This should provide some improvement over the previous alignment. The project is scheduled to be finished in 2008, resulting in a uninterrupted superhighway along US 322 from Potters Mills to I-81 near Harrisburg.

The only other portion of US 322 between State College and Harrisburg that will not be at least four lanes, Boalsburg to Potters Mills, won’t be upgraded any time soon. PennDOT is focusing on catching up on deferred maintenance rather than building new highways. Also, there is already controversy over what route the relocated US 322 will follow, so I don’t expect anything to happen for at least five years and probably more.
Of course, the completion of i-99 is also expected in 2008 too. Right?
