    Exit-Ramp Closure – U.S. 30 (Lincoln Highway) West to U.S. 220 and Interstate 99 North – Planned for April 21 in Bedford County

    April 17, 2026

    The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is informing drivers of the exit-ramp closure on U.S. 30 (Lincoln Highway) west to U.S. 220 north and Interstate 99 (I-99) North Altoona in Bedford County, for milling and paving operations beginning Tuesday, April 21, 2026. 

    New Enterprise Stone & Lime, New Enterprise, Pa., is the lead contractor for the 3.4-mile, $6,059,067 pavement and bridge rehabilitation project on U.S. 30 from T-706 (Scenic Road) and Route 4010 (Pitt Street), and on Route 1033 (Sunnyside Extension), in Bedford Borough, Bedford County. The project is anticipated to be completed on October 14, 2026.

    On Tuesday, April 21, 2026, the contractor will close the U.S. 30 (Lincoln Highway) west exit-ramp to U.S. 220 North, Interstate 99 (I-99) North and Altoona. A detour will guide traffic to the U.S. 220 South Cumberland exit-ramp, to the U.S. 220 South Bedford exit, to Route 4010 (Pitt Street) and back to the U.S. 220 North, I-99 North and Altoona ramp. 

    The project calls for multiple individual exit-ramp closures at the US 30/US 220 Interchange for milling and paving operations, which will each vary in length from four (4) to seven (7) days. Only one ramp will be closed and detoured at a time. Subsequent ramp closures from will take place immediately after the reopening of each previous ramp closure.
