An estimated 3.4 million travelers are expected to use the Pennsylvania Turnpike during the Thanksgiving holiday. The projection of travel between Nov. 25-30 marks a slight increase from the same period in 2024. The number of people on the roadways is expected to peak on Wednesday, at 705,000 travelers. To accommodate the influx of travelers, the PA Turnpike will suspend all construction and routine maintenance work from 5 a.m. on Nov. 25 until 11 p.m. on Nov. 30. The measure aims to keep as many travel lanes open as possible during the busy holiday period. Turnpike officials encourage drivers to use E-ZPass for a more cost-effective travel experience, offering a 50 percent savings on tolls.
