What you need to know about travel delays ahead of Penn State football’s home opener

More than 100,000 people will head into State College this weekend for Penn State football’s season opener against Appalachian State on Saturday.

That, combined with construction and Labor Day holiday traffic, could be a recipe for a lot of road congestion coming into Centre County.

The state Department of Transportation, in a release on Wednesday, alerted drivers of potential travel delays on their way to Beaver Stadium.

The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission also advised motorists of travel delays this weekend, due to holiday travel. The commission expects 3.5 million vehicles to hit the turnpike this weekend, with Friday afternoon being the worst time for traffic.
