Lane closings ahead on Interstate 79 in Erie. Here's where, when
Some Interstate 79 lanes will be closed in Erie beginning Aug. 26. Lanes will be closed between the West 26th and West 12th street exits through Aug. 29 and again from Sept. 3-5 for bridge inspections. Flaggers may control traffic. Why the inspections? The inspections are in preparation for planned repairs to the twin bridges that carry the interstate over CSX and Norfolk Southern railroad tracks and West 16th Street. Each bridge carries three lanes of the interstate and an estimated 10,000 vehicles daily. The 1,570-foot bridges were built in 1983. Both are rated in fair condition. Work to replace the bridge decks is scheduled to begin next year and continue through 2027. Two lanes of the interstate will remain open in each direction during construction.

PennDOT and AAA team up to discuss back to school commute safety
With the return to school comes reminders about safety. Whether you're riding in a school bus, maybe driving something smaller, or even walking, the message from AAA East Central and PennDOT is clear: everyone needs to be in on making the trips to and from school safe. For drivers, that may require starting your commute a little bit earlier, so you're not rushing to your destination. "It's crucial that you take steps so that you're not stressed out because then when you're stressed, you're more tempted to do more dangerous things behind the wheel," Jim Garrity of AAA East Central said. If you have younger kids walking to school, you may want to go over safety tips before they go back. "Do it a couple of times before school starts just so that they feel comfortable and confident," Yasmeen Manyisha of PennDOT District 11 said. For teenagers who may be driving to school, it's important to root out any distractions that could take their eyes off the road. "If that means putting the cell phone in the back seat, if that means putting the do not disturb function on your phone, do it," Garrity said. Garrity also said that one of the biggest distractions for teenagers is other teenagers who may provide distractions as passengers. Parents should speak with teenagers even though they may not think they have to listen to safety tips. It's more than talking with them, Garrity said; parents must be good examples. But it's also more than that – it's showing the right behaviors as well. "If you are a distracted driver or an aggressive driver, chances are they'll end up one too," he said. When it comes to being safe on school buses, Manyisha said that parents should make sure kids aren't acting up or walking on the bus. Actions that end up distracting bus drivers can put everyone on the bus at risk. If there's an emergency, like a crash or a bus fire, Manyisha says kids should know where the emergency exits are. For example, every bus has one on the back door. "There should be one on each side, there should be one on the roof," Manyisha said. If you need to get out of a school bus in an emergency? Do not rush to the back and jump out the door. "Make sure you're sitting down on the floor, and kind of scooting out of the bus," Manyisha said.
