    UPDATE: Lane Closure is POSTPONED. New dates will be announced at a later date. PennDOT/BPD-I Announce Upcoming Lane Closure for I-80 North Fork Bridges Project in Jefferson County

    July 30, 2026

    UPDATE:  THIS LANE CLOSURE HAS BEEN POSTPONED.  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WILL BE SHARED AT A LATER DATE.

    Indiana, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and Bridging Pennsylvania Constructors (BPC) are advising drivers of a lane closure on Interstate 80 east as part of the I-80 North Fork Bridges Project in Jefferson County.

    The lane closure is scheduled to begin at 4:00 AM on August 3 to accommodate paving operations and is expected to remain in place for approximately seven days. The lane closure will be between Exits 78: Route 36/28 Sigel/Brookville and Exit 81: Route 28 Hazen.

    Following the seven-day lane closure, a traffic pattern switch on I-80 east is anticipated to occur on August 10.

    All work is weather dependent, and additional weather impacts may result in schedule adjustments. Drivers should use caution in the work zone, follow posted speed limits, and watch for workers and equipment.

    The I-80 North Fork Bridges project includes the replacement of the I-80 east and west bridges over State Route 4003 (Jenks Street), as well as the replacement of the State Route 4005 (Richardsville Road) bridges over I-80. The project will also include the extension of the North Fork Park Culvert, which carries I-80 traffic over the tributary to North Fork Redbank Creek. It is anticipated to be completed in summer 2028.

    Motorists traveling through the area should expect changes in traffic patterns and are reminded to follow all posted signage and use caution while driving through the work zone.
