Road Work to Cause Lane Closures on I-99 in Centre County

Drivers will encounter lane closures as work to rehabilitate the concrete pavement on a roughly 20-mile stretch of Interstate 99 in Centre County gets underway, according to PennDOT Starting Monday, short-term, single-lane closures will be implemented from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. on I-99 southbound between exit 80/Harrison Road in Spring Township and mile marker 58 near Port Matilda. Lane closures are expected to transition to the northbound side "in a few weeks," according to PennDOT. Work for this construction season will continue until Thanksgiving and will resume next year, with anticipated completion in November 2027. Schedules are subject to change due to weather or other circumstances.

The Slate Speaks: Parking Wars

In its 50th anniversary edition, The Slate ran an opinion piece by then-Assistant Opinion Editor Meggan Oates titled “Parking arrangements unfair to commuters.” The piece argued that while the parking situation on the east side of the campus by Luhrs Theater was adequate, commuters were left to struggle if they attended classes in Rowland Hall, Gilbert Hall or Old Main. You can add the Milton and Doreen Engineering Building to that list now.

Video shows Pennsylvania students stopping runaway school bus

Pennsylvania students recently stopped a runaway bus when their driver experienced a medical emergency . The incident took place on Sept. 17 as students near a Hollidaysburg Area School District junior high building, according to Ben Caldwell, director of human resources and transportation. Security footage from inside the bus shows students exiting the bus while it's stopped. Then, it slowly starts to move forward, and one student asks the driver if she can exit. As the bus continues to move, students realize something is wrong and spring into action. Several students scramble to the front while others direct them to press the bus' brakes and call for help over the radio. "Our bus driver just passed out," one student says near the end of the 40-second clip. A few students fall forward during the incident, but "all injuries were extremely minor and superficial," Caldwell said. The driver is doing well and has returned to work, Caldwell said.
