'Safety Break' Planned at I-80 Rest Area

Thanksgiving is traditionally a time of year when a large number of vehicles are on the road. To ensure that holiday trips are as safe as possible, PennDOT announces that a safety break with a free coffee center will be set up at the westbound rest area along Interstate 80 in Clinton County this weekend.

Volunteers from the Central Mountain Band Boosters will offer the service to travelers at the rest area located near mile marker 194 from Friday, Nov. 26 at 6 a.m. until Sunday, Nov. 28 at 6 p.m.

Other non-profit groups will staff coffee stations throughout the state in a program coordinated through PennDOT. The safety break program encourages motorists to take a break from driving during busy holiday travel times such as Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day and Thanksgiving.

For information on sponsoring a safety break site, contact PennDOT’s Roadside Specialist Michael Heitzenrater at 814-205-1192. PennDOT’s District 2 includes Cameron, Centre, Clearfield, Clinton, Elk, Juniata, McKean, Mifflin and Potter counties.
