I can't remember the last time I drove through there so I haven't seen the new scales. I keep hearing about them, though. Are they open? Are they not open? I get different answers. Here's this:

eastbound has been open, just not consistently so i believe they are still testing. westbound hasn't been open at all yet. :roll:
as to looks, think red tin roof barn with a lot of stone facade.....they look like martha stewart designed them. :shock: :mrgreen:

I don't use I-78 going westbound. There's a "TOLL going that way. When I leave Jersey, I leave by the only exit where there is no toll. And PA does very little with the rest area there too.

There is a few traffic lights, but since it's about 14 miles shorter vs i-78 to 33N, takes about the same time.

In PA, they could be anywhere! :wink:
