HARRISBURG — The Pennsylvania Turnpike is preparing to expand Open Road Tolling statewide in January 2027, eliminating traditional tollbooths. The cashless system allows drivers to pay tolls electronically without stopping or slowing down. Overhead structures equipped with sensors and cameras identify vehicles and calculate tolls. Drivers with E-ZPass receive the lowest rates, while others receive bills through the mail based on their license plates.

Sign up for our free newsletters . HARRISBURG — Hot off winning a trifecta for the first time in more than 30 years, Gov. Josh Shapiro and Democratic legislative leaders laid out a vision for rapid action they say will offer relief amid rising costs and restore trust in government. “What last night’s election showed is that I have a mandate to continue to lead our commonwealth forward,” Shapiro, who romped to an easy victory, said at a news conference at the Governor's Residence in Harrisburg on Wednesday. Flanked by Lt. Gov. Austin Davis, top lawmakers, and four Democrats who flipped state Senate seats, Shapiro said the party will soon announce a policy agenda for the first 100 days of governing. He did not provide an exhaustive list, but he said he can “guarantee” they’ll accomplish the following: “We will fund mass transit. We will raise the minimum wage. We will make sure that women have a right to reproductive freedom here in this commonwealth. We will build more housing. We will allow survivors of

I-80 eastbound on-ramp at Bellefonte to stay closed into late November

Bellefonte, Pa. — The Interstate 80 eastbound on-ramp at Exit 161 in Bellefonte, closed since Oct. 12, will stay closed until the third week of November, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said. PennDOT had expected the contractor on the I-80/I-99 High-Speed Interchange project to reopen the ramp by the end of October, but the reopening was delayed because of unforeseen circumstances, according to the department. While the ramp remains closed, traffic on Interstate 99 heading to I-80 eastbound will take Jacksonville Road to the westbound on-ramp at Exit 161 and follow the detour back to I-80 eastbound at Milesburg. The closure was put in place to prepare for directing traffic onto the newly completed bridge over Jacksonville Road, PennDOT said. The High-Speed Interchange will provide a direct connection between the two interstates, so drivers will no longer have to travel along Route 26 to reach them. Work includes building the interchange, 10 bridges, four retaining walls, five box culverts, seven sign structures and three changeable message boards, along with new and rebuilt roadways and ramps, drainage, lighting and stream improvements. Trumbull Corp. of Pittsburgh is the contractor on the $259 million project, which is expected to continue through the next
