What is traffic on Interstate 80 in Pennsylvania like?

I’m taking a trip from New York to Cleveland to see the Yankees play the Guardians, but I’ve never traveled the stretch of I-80 through Pennsylvania. I want to make sure that I don’t hit any traffic because I’m trying to make the trip after taking off work early on Friday. What’s the traffic like on Interstate 80 in Pennsylvania?

Interstate 80 in
Pennsylvania
takes you from
Stroudsburg
in the east to
Hermitage
in the west, covering 311 miles. Fortunately for
drivers traveling through
, this I-80 doesn’t pass any major cities in Pennsylvania, which means traffic is light and congestion is rare unless there’s construction.
The only thing you may want to watch for is Pennsylvania state troopers, which patrol this area to catch speeders. The speed limit on Interstate 80 in Pennsylvania is 70 mph, although construction reduces this speed to 55 mph. Pay attention to posted speed limits and construction zones to avoid a ticket that can spoil your trip.
