If legislation passes, Exit 119 on I-81 would be named the “PSP Trooper Michael E. Pahira Jr. Memorial Interchange.”
The dedication was proposed by Rep. Tim Twardzik and Sen. David Argall.
Pahira served as a state police trooper for nearly 20 years and was assigned to the Frackville Station in Schuylkill County.
