• Operation Yellow Jacket will be in force along I-70 in western Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania State Police dressed as highway workers will be enforcing work zone speed limits from yellow PennDOT trucks.

• Fines for certain traffi c violations – including speeding, driving under the infl uence, and failure to obey traffi c devices – are doubled for active work zones. Also, the law provides for up to fi ve years of additional jail time for individuals convicted of homicide by vehicle for an active work zone crash.

• Motorists caught driving more than11 miles per hour above the posted speed limit in an active work zone, or who are involved in a crash in a work zone and are convicted for failing to drive at a safe speed, automatically will lose their license for 15 days.

I-70 TRAFFIC PHASING:• On July 11, westbound I-70 mainline traffi c will be transferred to the

temporary bypass via temporary crossover west of the existing New Stanton interchange. One to two weeks later, eastbound I-70 mainline traffi c will be diverted to the temporary bypass east of Hunter-Waltz Mill Road.

• Relocating I-70 traffi c to the temporary bypass will facilitate the following construction activity:

- Six lane reconstruction of two miles of I-70 mainline

- Construction of two I-70 mainline overhead bridges for the new New Stanton interchange

• All I-70 traffi c will be using the temporary bypass before the end of July 2016, and will be returned to the newly constructed mainline in November 2016.

- The I-70 temporary bypass will carry two lanes of traffi c in each direction during daylight hours, but motorists may encounter single lane restrictions in either direction during nighttime hours.

HUNKER DETOUR: (SEE FIGURE A)• State Route (SR) 3089 traffi c to I-70 eastbound is detoured via

Pennsylvania Avenue, Center Avenue and the existing New Stanton interchange eastbound on ramp (Exit 57B).

• I-70 westbound traffi c to SR 3089 remains detoured via the New Stanton interchange westbound off ramp (Exit 57B), Center Avenue, and Pennsylvania Avenue.

• Three temporary signals on Center Avenue are activated to facilitate the detour traffi c at the existing New Stanton interchange.

Efective Monday, July 11, 2016, PennDOT will close the remaining portion of the I-70/ Hunker interchange (I-70/SR 3089) to continue construction of the new New Stanton interchange. The closure will require I-70 mainline traffi c to divert to a temporary bypass immediately north of the existing interstate from July through November 2016.
