CLEARFIELD – PennDOT District 2 anticipates that all northbound lanes of I-99 and some southbound lanes will open to traffic between Dec. 12 and Dec. 19. PennDOT had originally anticipated opening the lanes by Dec. 4, but signs for the temporary roadway and ramp at the Skytop section still need to be produced and installed.
The northbound lanes will be open from the village of Bald Eagle in Blair County to the Skytop area near State College. As motorists approach Skytop, the two northbound lanes will narrow to one lane, with traffic merging back onto current U.S. Route 322.
Also, during the same time, PennDOT plans to open both southbound lanes from the Port Matilda interchange to Bald Eagle. Southbound lanes in the Skytop area will remain closed to daily traffic but will continue to be used by construction vehicles.
