Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is encouraging drivers traveling to the Little League World Series in Williamsport to plan their trip using the enhanced real-time travel and alternate-route information available on a specialized web page at www.511PA.com/map/page/LLWS. These enhancements support Governor Shapiro’s commitment to providing accessible, real-time digital services to every Pennsylvanian.
Hosted through the department's www.511PA.com traveler information website, the page is dedicated to monitoring traffic conditions on the primary travel routes to the event: Route 15 south to Route 220 to Market Street (from north); Route 15 north (from south); Interstate 80 east to Route 220 north to Market Street (from west); and I-80 west to Route 15 north (from east).
“Our goal is to help travelers plan ahead by providing them with as much information as possible,” said PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll. “By sharing real-time, traffic speed information along alternate routes, drivers can be aware of traffic conditions and choose the route that works best for them as they travel to this year’s Little League World Series.”
The page includes the current travel time for the primary route as well as one or two alternate routes. Users can see incidents, construction, traffic cameras, and traffic speeds on the map.
PennDOT's Central Region Traffic Management Center is also supporting the Little League World Series by posting real-time travel information on changeable message signs along primary travel routes to the event. Travelers should be prepared for changing traffic patterns, slow-moving or stopped vehicles, and an increase in pedestrian traffic.
“During the series, and always, please drive safely,” added Carroll. “Always pay attention when you are behind the wheel – put down your phone, it’s dangerous and illegal in Pennsylvania – wear your seat belt and follow the posted speed limit!”
Travelers can check conditions on major roads by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information, and access to more than 1,200 traffic cameras. 511PA is also available through a smartphone application for iPhone and Android devices, by calling 5-1-1, or by following regional X alerts.
