Closure Scheduled for Southbound Ramp to SR-100 

MIDDLETOWN, PA — The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PA Turnpike) advises motorists that there will be a planned closure of the southbound ramp outside of the Downingtown Interchange (Exit 312) to Pennsylvania Route 100 (SR 100) on Saturday, Aug. 24 from 6 a.m. until 2 p.m. This is required to recover materials lost over an embankment during a crash and to make necessary guiderail repairs. 

During the closure, motorists will be directed to SR 100 via the northbound ramp and using the turnaround.
