The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that an inspection is planned tomorrow on a portion of the Interstate 81 George N. Wade (North) Bridge spanning North Front Street at Exit 66 (Front Street) near Harrisburg in Susquehanna Township, Dauphin County.

Travelers are reminded to be alert for this operation, to obey work zone signs, and to use caution when driving through work zones for their safety, as well as for the safety of the inspection crews.
