Indiana, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and Bridging Pennsylvania Constructors (BPC) are announcing a change to the previously announced schedule for the Tippecanoe Road closure and additional dates for I-80 rolling slowdowns as the Canoe Creek Bridge Reconstruction project in Clarion County continues to move forward.
The rolling slowdowns for beam erection will take place between 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM March 28, March 31, and April 1, along I-80 eastbound from Exit 53: Knox through the construction zone to the Weigh Station exit. The slowdowns are weather-dependent and will occur intermittently. Motorists are encouraged to plan accordingly and exercise caution while traveling through the work zone.
Because of the delay in schedule for the beam setting, Tippecanoe Road will now close on April 2 through April 20 between Thompson Hill Road and Stromyers Road. To detour, motorists should use Route 4005 (Tippecanoe Road) to Route 338 to Route 208 to Route 2007 (Huckleberry Ridge Road) to Route 4005 (Tippecanoe Road). The detour route is 13.5 miles (approximately 20 minutes).
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).
