PennDOT - District 9 News: North Bound I-70 Welcome Center to be Temporarily Closed


"northbound"?  :-D
I get what they mean, but they obviously don't really look at their own signs...
Yeah, I held off on posting this yesterday because I wanted to reclarify whether there was a potential typo or not.

The bridge in Pittsburgh was built even poorly as it it had no concrete piers but angled cross beams that held it up. Beams that were obviously not inspected regularly and subject to rust and corrosion to add to that meant trouble. IMO built cheaply and for a four lane heavily used artery was a bad design choice to be even remotely considered.

It was a rigid frame bridge, a style which isn't uncommon in Pennsylvania. There are some advantages to this approach. It doesn't mean it was built poorly or a bad design choice.

That's the scary part.  What other rigid frames are on major arteries numbered or not.  To me it's cheap!
Every day is a winding road, you just got to get used to it.

(For PA 23)  PennDOT - District 6 News: PennDOT to Begin Project to Improve Travel and Safety on Route 23 (Conshohocken State Road) at Spring Mill Road in Lower Merion Township

Definitely needed.  The travel lane becomes a right turn only lane, and what appears to be the left turn lane is actually the thru lane.  I've been stuck behind vehicles at that light when I'm trying to turn right, and then said vehicle almost causes an accident when it goes straight with the adjacent thru lane.

Yes, I clarified it yesterday and posted it in the AASHTO 2020 thread.

It's redesignated. But did they actually do a good job of signing it?

Yes, beyond a couple areas where US 13 and PA 291 shields are separate from one another.  Also US 13 BUS is still not posted from the south end of PA 352.

Rage, now I have to go back to Chester as I had all US Routes in PA besides 19 and 62 clinched.

Clinching US 13 was a whole thing and I missed a few turns back in 2018 due to lack of signage – one near UPenn and another in Chester, and potentially one near where it splits off Roosevelt

These people picked the absolute worst place to steal a sign too.  Why would you pull over to secure it next to a stockpile?
