Traffic shift needed for maintenance in the tunnel.

The Pennsylvania Turnpike alerts motorists approaching the Kittatinny and Blue Mountain tunnels of traffic shifts slated to begin at 7:45 a.m. on May 4 until 4:30 p.m. The tunnels are located in Franklin County between the Willow Hill Exit #189 and Blue Mountain Exit #201. 

The westbound tunnels will be closed at 7:45 a.m. on May 4 until 4:30 p.m. Traffic will crossover to the eastbound tunnels which will be bi-directional. This work will be performed as weather permits. May 5, at the same times, will be utilized if work needs to be canceled due to weather.

Motorists should slow down to posted speed limits when entering the traffic shifts into the tunnels.
