Indiana, PA – Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and Bridging Pennsylvania Constructors (BPC) are announcing an upcoming traffic switch on Interstate 80 west in support of the I-80 North Fork Bridges Project in Jefferson County.
The contractor will perform a major traffic switch starting at 7:00 AM on November 9, 2026. During this operation, I-80 west traffic will be shifted onto the new east bridge via a median crossover before being directed back onto existing west road. This traffic switch will facilitate demolition of the existing west bridge and construction of the new road and bridge over North Fork Redbank Creek.
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.
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 Route 4005 (Richardsville Road) bridge 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.
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).
