Indiana, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and Bridging Pennsylvania Constructors (BPC) are announcing that the lane closure on Interstate 80 westbound as part of the I-80 North Fork Bridges Project in Jefferson County is postponed to a later date.
Previously announced to begin today, due to forecasted weather this week, paving operations will not occur. The lane closure will be delayed to a date to be announced.
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 Eastbound and Westbound 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.
