    I99 Newry to 17th Street and Tyrone Rehabilitation Project

    Short-term Delays Anticipated on I-99 between Newry Cross-over and 17th Street Exit from March 2 through March 28

    February 26, 2026

    The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is informing drivers of the potential for short-term delays in both the northbound and southbound lanes of Interstate 99 (I-99) between mile marker 26 in Blair Township and mile marker 33 near the 17th Street Exit through the month of March.  

    From Monday, March 2 to approximately Saturday, March 28, 2026, the contractor will implement lane restrictions – from two (2) lanes to one (1) – and close shoulders on portions of I-99 to complete work, including highway markings, grading, delineation, sawing and sealing, and completion of the 17th Street drainage work. All work will be completed during daylight hours.

    New Enterprise Stone and Lime, Inc., New Enterprise, Pa., is the contractor for the $26,682,223 project, which includes improvements along 10-miles of I-99 from the median cross-over near Newry to 17th Street exit and Tyrone in Blair County.
