Indiana, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today nighttime lane restrictions on Route 68/East Jefferson Street for tree trimming in preparation for construction on the Karns Crossing Bridge in Summit and Butler townships, Butler County.
March 17 through 21, there will be nighttime lane restrictions with flaggers 8:00 PM to 6:00 AM. Traffic will be single lane on Route 68/East Jefferson Street between Hospital Way to Delwood Road.
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 waterway. 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.
