PennDOT said northbound I-279 is closed between the Bellevue/West View and Camp Horne Road interchanges. Drivers are told to use alternate routes. Officials didn’t give a timeline for when the road will reopen.
Also because of the crash, the I-579 HOV lanes will be closed in the outbound direction until the directional switch is made for the morning rush hour, PennDOT said.
No other information was immediately released.
