MERCER COUNTY Traffic delays likely on I-79

MERCER, Pa. -- Motorists using Interstate 79 in Mercer County are advised there is a chance of severe traffic congestion in the southbound lanes Saturday between Mileposts 113 (Grove City exit) and 118.
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said road repair crews doing concrete work will be working very close to the road and there will be a lane restriction in that area. Some delays are possible.
Repairs scheduled for state roads in Mercer County next week are also expected to create some traffic delays.
Route 62
Beginning Monday, U.S. Route 62 in Mercer borough from U.S. Route 19 to Pa. Route 158 (Shenango Street) will be closed for milling and concrete replacement at the Route 62/19 intersection.
