Alternative Routes When I-84 Is Closed
When I-84 shuts down for weather or accidents, most trucks detour via I-81 through Pennsylvania. This actually brings you closer to more truck repair options, including our main location and several competitors in the Scranton area.
The detour adds about 30 miles but gives you access to more fuel stops and repair facilities. Many drivers prefer this route during winter months when I-84's mountain sections get icy.
