Default Carlisle Corvette show traffic problems/solved

They are doing pipe line construction at various times in Carlisle on I81 causing major issues to north bound traffic, causing miles of back ups and hours of sitting. I am from Carlisle and typed up some easy directions to avoid any chance of getting stuck. In fact, this will get you around all of the Carlisle traffic. Any questions about Carlisle, send me a PM as I lurk in the C6 section for the most part. My suggestion would be, check your navigation or waze app, if you see red, follow the below instructions... See you there!!

Coming from the south in PA. (Chambersburg) north on 81 to exit 29, Shippensburg. End of ramp, Walnut Bottom Rd., turn left, west towards Shippensburg. Go approximately 2 miles. There will be a T intersection at a traffic light, you have to turn left or right. This is Rt.11, Ritner Hwy. Chevrolet car dealership on the right. Turn right, RT. 11 Ritner Hwy north towards Carlisle. Stay on Rt. 11 for about 12 miles into Carlisle. You will come to a traffic light at RT 233, Sheetz on left after about 5 miles. Continue north. Next traffic light, RT 465 (Allen Rd) (Sheetz on right), continue straight. Continue north 5 traffic lights, College St., Turn left. (Dickinson college on left and right) North on College St. (It's Pa., Yes it's north, don't ask) Follow College St. to the end, not quite a mile. Turn right, 4 blocks and you have arrived!! (And missed all the traffic). Any questions or need to know pretty much anything about Carlisle, let me know.

Spoke to Penn Dot, they are not doing work on Friday and Saturday. Traffic south bound should not be affected. North bound traffic is going to be during off peak hours. Again, I would suggest checking your app as you get closer to the area, if it's red, you can divert with the instructions I gave. Looks like good weather. See you there...
