east bound Pa road conditions?

I-78 road work is at night, so you should be OK during the day. Now, having said that........

as noted in another reply to your post, I-78 sees LOTS of truck traffic. In spite of the fact that this end of I-78 in PA is a "TEA" (Targeted Enforcement Area) the 55 mph speed limit is rarely enforced. Traffic merging in from the ramps WILL pull right out in front of you. In some stretches you'll be doing 70 and only keeping up with "the flow." In May and June we had 4 accidents with fatalities, 3 of which involved trucks.

Personally, I hate this highway so if you use I-78 please be on your guard. If you are eastbound the dangerous interchange is at Rt. 100 in Fogelsville. Get in the left lane as soon as you see the brewery and stay there until after the I-78/Rt. 22 split. Be safe.

Starting to plan our winter trip to Florida from N Vermont the middle of January 2015 towing a 26' TT and would like to know experiences going across I-84 from the NYS Thruway at Newburgh,NY to Scranton, PA to then head south on I-81. Have been told there are some big hills on I-84 that could be a problem in January. Thanks for advice on this route and some alternatives.

I drove both directions on I-78 last weekend (May 16-18) and encountered no construction. So if Penndot says there will be road work it hasn't started yet.

Thanks. I found out that after I went thru in early May they switched to doing the repairs at night. So I guess all lanes will be open during the day. Hope so, the truck traffic gets really heavy approaching Rt 33.
