SHAMOKIN DAM – Major traffic delays are anticipated Thursday in Snyder County for southbound motorists on Routes 11 and 15.
The southbound driving lane on each highway in advance of their merger in Shamokin Dam is scheduled to be closed between 8:30 a.m. and 6 p.m.
The closure is required to permit a soil remediation project at the scene of an earlier accident, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation says.
Major delays are anticipated and motorists should be alert for stopped or slow-moving vehicles, PennDOT says.

SELINSGROVE, Pa. Officials in Snyder County spent Thursday afternoon setting up a COVID-19 vaccination clinic at the Selinsgrove Center.
Snyder County Emergency Management Agency Director Derick Shambach hopes to vaccinate around 2,000 people over the next four weeks. When we first set the clinic up, it was targeted towards our 1A population, because they were having trouble getting anywhere for vaccines. As we got them registered, we expanded to 1B since the governor opened it up, Shambach said.
The Snyder County commissioners have been trying to get a vaccine clinic here for weeks.
