    Motorists are advised that the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) in coordination with Bridging Pennsylvania Developers I (BPD-I) will implement a traffic switch as part of Stage 1, Phase 3 of the I80 Lehigh River Bridge Project.

     

    Beginning August 14, 2025, and continuing through August 28, 2025, traffic on Interstate 80 eastbound will be shifted to a single-lane configuration, with only the left lane open. The single-lane restriction is expected to be lifted before Friday August 29th for the Labor Day Holiday weekend.

     

    Motorists should expect potential delays, follow all posted signage, use caution and allow extra travel time when passing through the area.
