Lane restrictions were still in place on Interstate 79 in Jackson Township Wednesday afternoon after an excavator and a truck hit an overpass Tuesday morning.

JACKSON TWP — Lane restrictions on Interstate 79 were still in effect Wednesday afternoon after an excavator and a truck bearing an oversized load hit the I-79 overpass on Route 68 Tuesday morning.

Road crews closed the passing lane on I-79 north and the driving lane on I-79 south between mile markers 86 and 88 Tuesday after the incidents, and restricted traffic on Route 68 to a single alternating lane.

All lanes are now open on Route 68 under the overpass.

Emergency crews responded to the initial accident on Route 68 Tuesday morning, after an excavator hit the overpass at around 10 a.m.

Crews temporarily closed Route 68 for clean up. While they worked to clear that scene, the truck with the oversized load also struck the overpass, becoming wedged underneath it, according to Harmony Fire District officials.

PennDOT inspectors arrived on the scene Tuesday to inspect the bridges. As of 3 p.m. Wednesday officials had yet to receive the inspectors' report.

It is unknown how long the lane restrictions would remain in place. That will depend on the inspectors' findings.
