The constant backups along the current US 220 could have been cut in half had that been done.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">More:<\/span> <a class=\"post-article-link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.centredaily.com\/news\/local\/story\/270588.html\"><b>Emergency crews prepare for new highway<\/b><\/a> &#8211; <i>CDT<\/i><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/website_3c1e0e40\/graphics\/technorati.gif\" border=\"0\">  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/i99\" rel=\"tag\">i-99<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/PortMatlida\" rel=\"tag\">Port Matilda<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/PennDOT\" rel=\"tag\">PennDOT<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/Skytop\" rel=\"tag\">Skytop<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/Pennsylvanina\" rel=\"tag\">Pennsylvania<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\">&copy;MMX William F.
