Rolling closures scheduled on Interstate 70
Rolling closures will occur on Interstate 70 between mile markers 48 and 51, in the area of the Smithton and West Newton/Mt. Pleasant interchanges, between 7 and 8 a.m. June 10 so that West Penn Power can pull power lines across the interstate. Temporary 15-minute rolling closures will occur.
A rolling closure is when state police vehicles are used to gradually slow down the motorists who are following them and then stop them temporarily to allow enough time for maintenance to be carried out.
