Indiana, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is announcing a temporary traffic pattern change on Route 68/East Jefferson Street in Butler County.
Beginning on November 18 at 9:00 AM, there will be a traffic pattern change and traffic signal changes on Route 68/Jefferson Street near the Route 422 east on and off ramps as crews perform concrete work near the Route 422 ramps.
Work is expected to continue through December 15.
All work is weather dependent and 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.
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.
