Downingtown Interchange on Pennsylvania Turnpike reopens after canopy over toll booths collapsed

The Downingtown Interchange on the Pennsylvania Turnpike reopened Wednesday night after a canopy over the toll booths collapsed, which forced it to close for hours. It reopened at 8:30 p.m.

Crews were in the process of demolishing the canopy when it collapsed over the toll booths. Nobody was injured when the canopy collapsed, according to Chester County Emergency Services.

The Downingtown Interchange (Exit 312) was closed for hours as crews removed the canopy and debris from the area. 

The Pennsylvania Turnpike urges anyone who needs to report an incident or another emergency on the turnpike to call 911 or use other resources, like the 511PA Smartphone App.
