    Project Overview

    County: Erie
    State Route: 0090
    Local Name: Interstate 90
    Project Type: Roadway Reconstruction and Preservation, Bridge Replacement

    Last Updated: 03/12/2026

    PennDOT will reconstruct or restore approximately 28 miles of I-90 in 10 years through a series of contracts.

    The first project started in 2019 and focused on reconstructing I-90 from the Ohio state line to mile marker 3.5 near the Route 6N exits in Springfield Township, as well as paving from mile maker 10.5 to mile marker 18. It was completed in 2021.  

    A second contract to reconstruct from mile marker 3.5 and to near mile marker 10.5 in Springfield Township, Girard Township, and Platea Borough was done from 2021 to 2024. 

    Another contract included repaving 10 miles of I-90 in Harborcreek, Greenfield and North East townships from the I-86 interchange to the New York state line was done from 2021 to 2023.

    In 2026, work will be done from mile marker 18 to mile maker 23 in McKean and Summit townships. Work will include milling, concrete patching, paving, and installation of new guide rail, delineators, RPMS, and pavement markings.

    Work continues on design for a reconstruction project focused mile marker 10.5 to mile marker 18, including rebuilding the Beckman Road Bridge. Construction is tentatively planned to get underway in 2030. 

    Mile Marker 18 to Mile Marker 23

    This project includes milling, paving and concrete patching of 5.2 miles of Interstate 90 from mile marker 18 in McKean Township to mile marker 23 in Summit Township.

    Drivers should be alert for traffic pattern shifts and lane restrictions during nighttime hours beginning at 8:00 PM and ending by 6:00 AM the following morning from Sundays to Fridays. No lane restrictions are anticipated from 6:00 AM Fridays through 8:00 PM Sundays. Drivers should anticipate travel delays during active work hours.

    Work will also include guide rail updates, roadway paint and markers, and signs. During these operations, drivers may encounter short-term lane and shoulder restrictions.

    Construction is expected to begin April 6, 2026, weather permitting, and is expected to be completed by November 2026.

    The contractor is Lindy Paving of New Galilee, PA. The contract cost is $18,396,593.25, which is to be paid entirely with federal funds.

    Beckman Road Bridge

    The bridge that carries Beckman Road over Interstate 90 in Girard Township, Erie County was removed in September 2025. 

    The project included removing the upper portion of the existing bridge, known as the superstructure, and the pier.

    A 4-mile detour is posted using Tannery Road, Sterrettania Road (Route 3018), Keefer Road, and Franklin Road.

    The bridge was struck by large vehicle in February 2025 and was immediately closed. Several beams suffered significant damage and the bridge remained closed for the safety of the traveling public. 

    The 205-foot bridge was built in 1959. It is rated in poor condition and is posted with a vertical clearance of less than 14 feet for traffic in the westbound lanes of I-90. It is used by approximately 125 vehicles a day, on average.

    The structure is scheduled to be replaced in 2030 as part of a project to reconstruction Interstate 90 from mile marker 10.5 to mile marker 18.

    Project Updates & Press Releases

    Project Details

    The $66.1 million project, which is considered phases 2 and 3 of a long-term reconstruction plan, includes the 6.85-mile section of I-90 beginning near mile marker 3.5 and extending east to near mile marker 10.5, located in Springfield Township, Girard Township, and Platea Borough. Work included the replacement or rehabilitation of five bridges and teardrop roundabouts at the Route 18 interchange.

    Throughout the project, work will also include updates to the drainage, guiderail, cable median barrier, highway lighting, and pavement markings. Lane closures and traffic control will be needed on the interstate and adjacent roads throughout the project.

    Work in 2021 included construction of the new Route 215 bridge; intersection improvements at Underridge Road and Rea Road; emergency removal of the Route 18 bridge, preliminary work on the new Route 18 bridge; a highspeed cross-over near mile marker 9.5, and preservation work on the McKee Road bridge. 

    In 2022, work included the reconstruction of the eastbound lanes of I-90, the completion of the Route 18 bridge and two teardrop roundabouts at Exit 9, and the replacement of the eastbound bridge over Neiger Road. 

    In 2023, the project included the reconstruction of the westbound lanes of I-90 and the replacement of the westbound bridge over Neiger Road. All major work on the project will wrap up this year.

    In 2024, work included installing cable median barrier, landscaping, and other project finishing activities.

    The early design phase for a project focused on the reconstruction of mile marker 10.5 to mile marker 18 is underway and construction tentatively planned to get underway in 2027. This project includes the reconstruction of approximately 7.5 miles of I-90 from just east of the Route 18 interchange to just east of the Route 832/Sterrettania Road interchange. As part of this project, the Beckman Road Bridge over I-90 will be replaced as well as the I-90 easbound and westbound bridges over Franklin Road.  

    An in-person public meeting for the Beckman Road bridge portion of the project was held on December 15, 2022. Upon completion of that meeting and further evaluation of the data for the bridge, it was decided to replace the structure as part of this phase of work. 

    This multi-year project improved nearly 11 miles of Interstate 90 in Summit, Springfield, Girard, and Fairview townships in Erie County.

    The $37.6 million project included the removal and replacement of the Huntley Road (Route 3012) Bridge in Springfield Township, Erie County. The new concrete bridge, which offers a higher clearance height for traffic on I-90, was opened on October 11, 2019.

    Preservation work from mile marker 10 to mile marker 18 in Girard and Fairview townships and the creations of high-speed crossovers needed for the second year of the project was also completed during the 2019 construction season.

    Work to pave the westbound lanes from the Ohio/Pennsylvania state line to just east of the Route 6N exits was completed during the 2021 construction season.

    Along with reconstructing the roadway, work included the installation of a new right-of-way fence and cable median barrier, brush removal, updated guiderail, and signs, as well as the design and construction of new sign foundations.

    This project includes milling, paving and concrete patching of 5.2 miles of Interstate 90 from mile marker 18 in McKean Township to mile marker 23 in Summit Township. Work will also include guide rail updates, roadway paint and markers, and signs.  Drivers should be alert for traffic pattern shifts, lane restrictions, and nighttime work. Construction is expected to begin in April 2026 and to be completed by November 2026.

    The approximately $18 million, multi-year project includes repaving more than 10 miles of I-90 in Harborcreek, Greenfield, and North East townships from the I-86 interchange at mile marker 35 to the New York state line.

    The project includes repairs to the culvert that carries I-90 over 16 Mile Creek near Exit 41 (Route 89) North East Township. 

    In 2022, work included milling, paving, bridge repairs, and drainage upgrades on the east and westbound lanes from mile marker 35 near the Interstate 86 interchange to the New York Line. 

    The third year of the project will include only a few minor finishing activities, as the project's major work was completed a year early.
