HARRISBURG, Pa. — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation announced on Monday it is stepping up to the plate to help travelers driving to Williamsport for the Little League World Series.
Baseball fans 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, PennDOT said in a press release.
"The page continues Governor Josh Shapiro’s commitment to providing digital services that are responsive, user-friendly, and accessible to every Pennsylvanian," PennDOT said. "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."
According to PennDOT, the page provides travel times and alerts for:
- Route 15 south to Route 220 to Market Street (from the north)
- Route 15 north (from south)
- Interstate 80 east to Route 220 north to Market Street (from west)
- I-80 west to Route 15 north (from the east)
“511PA is a valuable tool to empower the public and minimize congestion,” said PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll. “By providing this real-time information, motorists can more easily plan the route that works best for them as they travel to this exciting event.”
The page includes the average 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 dynamic message signs and transmitting audio messages on highway advisory radio systems to assist travelers.
