« House rejects Senate cut of transportation funds | Main | McIntosh to push Senate cell phone bill »
If you're heading north into Pennsylvania on Interstate 83 Thursday, you might want to leave yourself some extra time.
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation plans to close the right northbound lane between the state line and Exit 8 in southern York County for pothole-patching operations between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. if the weather allows. Expect slow going.

Both 83 and 81 in PA seem to be under constant repair. I drive from Balto. to visit relatives around Wilkes-Barre along 81 in Northern PA. It's not unusual for miles and miles of one lane of 81 to be blocked off for months at a time for Spring-Summer-Fall repairs. Whether it's the mountainous conditions or cheap materials I don't know but even on 83, on level ground between Baltimore and Harrisburg, you can feel the poorer road conditions through your car as soon as you cross from MD to PA and then run into road work in PA.
