World Cup host sites continue to implement truck restrictions, the latest coming from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.
Philadelphia is scheduled to host World Cup matches on June 14, 19, 22, 25, 27 and July 4. The city is also hosting other activities related to the event.
On those match days, PennDOT has confirmed with the Pennsylvania Motor Truck Association that the only restrictions apply to oversize and overweight vehicles.
However, all carriers should plan for increased traffic volumes, delays, longer travel times and additional traffic management measures, PMTA said.
Attendance levels, security needs and traffic conditions could alter current plans, state officials said.
Road closures have begun in the East Fairmount Park area of Philadelphia. Center City, Lemon Hill and Benjamin Franklin Parkway are locations impacted by these closures.
New York City previously announced plans to restrict deliveries on World Cup match days.
The Trucking Association of New York has launched a World Cup resources hub, providing traffic updates, operational information and delivery alternatives in one place for truck drivers in the state.
Texas officials are expecting heavy traffic delays, with several major roads around the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex closed during the World Cup.
The Missouri Department of Transportation is encouraging truck drivers to take alternate routes around Kansas City. According to its website, nearly all state roadwork will occur off the road to maximize capacity during the event.
MoDOT said it will provide updates through statewide and district social medial channels.
