Indiana, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and Bridging Pennsylvania Constructors (BPC) are announcing an upcoming change in travel lanes on I-80 westbound in support of the I-80 Canoe Creek Bridges project in Clarion County.
The contractor will implement a major traffic switch on I-80 westbound, as early as Wednesday, December 17, 7:00 AM through 6:00 PM, but may push to the following week depending on weather conditions. Both lanes of existing I-80 westbound traffic will be directed onto a median crossover, over the newly constructed bridge, and through another median crossover back onto existing I-80 westbound. Motorists are reminded to follow all posted signs and use caution while driving through the work zone.
The Canoe Creek Bridges Replacement project includes the total replacement of both the eastbound and westbound Canoe Creek bridges, as well as improved roadway alignment and geometry. The limits of the project extend approximately three miles on I-80, from the Knox interchange over the bridges to a pair of weigh stations near milepost 56.5.
Motorists traveling through the area are reminded to follow all posted signage and use caution while driving through the work zone.
This project is part of the ongoing PennDOT Major Bridges P3 Program. Bridging Pennsylvania Developers – I (BPD-I) is led jointly by Shikun & Binui Ltd and Macquarie Capital as Lead Project Developers and Equity Members. The Bridging Pennsylvania Constructors (BPC) joint venture (JV) consortium includes the design & construction expertise of S&B USA Construction (Pittsburgh, PA) and FCC Construction. S&B USA Construction is the construction arm of Shikun & Binui Ltd and is also the parent company of Fay, S&B USA Construction (Pittsburgh, PA), one of the four BPC Major Bridge subcontractors. Other Major Bridge subcontractors include the H&K Group (Skippack, PA), Kokosing Construction Company (Pittsburgh, PA), Wagman Heavy Civil (York, PA), and Lead Designer, Michael Baker International (Pittsburgh, PA).
