PennDOT "Agility Program" -- PennDOT officials want more municipalities and organizations to participate in the program that shares resources by trading services, such as patching potholes on a local road in exchange for the municipality mowing grass in the median of a state-owned road. The scenario has benefited more than 2,000 local governments and other partners, and saved taxpayers $11 million in the past nine years. Interested parties are to contact PennDOT engineering offices.
Entire toll road -- Two lanes in each direction maintained in long-term construc- tion sites, but lanes are narrowed, bounded by concrete barriers. Traffic updates at 1-800-331-3414 or www.paturnpike.com.
