Indiana, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is announcing a single lane traffic restriction on June 10 on Route 68/East Jefferson Street for beam setting for the bridge over Connoquenessing Creek in Butler County.
A daylight lane restriction under flagging will direct traffic through the intersections of Route 68/East Jefferson Street and the Route 422 East off- and on-ramps. Please use caution and expect traffic delays especially on the Route 422 East off-ramp during this work.
The beam setting is weather dependent.
Contractor, Swank Construction Company, New Kensington, PA, will be completing this $64.8 million bridge replacement project, estimated to be completed in spring 2028.
The Karns Crossing Bridge project will replace two separate structures - the bridge itself that carries Route 68 over the railroad lines and the adjacent arch culvert over the Connoquenessing Creek. It also includes traffic safety and capacity improvements at the Route 68/Delwood Road intersection and the Route 68/US 422 eastbound on-ramp intersection.
