HARRISBURG, Pa. – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) enhanced the 511pa website with real time information to help travelers headed to the Little League World Series.
Drivers traveling to the Little League World Series in Williamsport can plan their trip using the enhanced real-time travel and alternate-route information available on a specialized web page at www.511PA.com/map/page/LLWS, according to a news release from PennDOT. These enhancements support Governor Shapiro’s commitment to providing accessible, real-time digital services to every Pennsylvanian.
Hosted through the department’s www.511PA.com traveler information website, the page is dedicated to monitoring traffic conditions on the primary travel routes to the event: Route 15 south to Route 220 to Market Street (from north); Route 15 north (from south); Interstate 80 east to Route 220 north to Market Street (from west); and I-80 west to Route 15 north (from east), the release says.
“Our goal is to help travelers plan ahead by providing them with as much information as possible,” said PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll. “By sharing real-time, traffic speed information along alternate routes, drivers can be aware of traffic conditions and choose the route that works best for them as they travel to this year’s Little League World Series.”
PennDOT officials say the page includes the current travel time for the primary route as well as one or two alternate routes. Users can see incidents, construction, traffic cameras, and traffic speeds on the map.
PennDOT’s Central Region Traffic Management Center is also supporting the Little League World Series by posting real-time travel information on changeable message signs along primary travel routes to the event. Travelers should be prepared for changing traffic patterns, slow-moving or stopped vehicles, and an increase in pedestrian traffic, authorities say.
