This is the same penndot that has ongoing construction on pretty much all major routes into state college each fall during PSU football season despite knowing that game day Saturdays result in the town being inundated with traffic and becomes the 3rd largest city in the state behind Philly and Pittsburgh. Penndot does what they want to.
The playbook is there for everyone’s knowledge re traffic. You should expect gridlock after totality. Better to be in a spot that will not require you to be on the road to view.
Gorgeous day. Got some yard work done, biked, walked, opened the windows. Sitting here listening to loads of peepers sounding off in the woods behind the house.
