Project Overview
County: Monroe
Municipality: East Stroudsburg
Route: Interstate 80
Project Type: Interchange Reconstruction
Proposed Construction Start: January 2022
Proposed Construction End: July 2027
Last Updated: September 2025
This I-80 project is the reconstruction of the I-80 Exit 308 Interchange in East Stroudsburg, Pa. (also known as the “Eastburg Project”). This section of I-80 has an average daily traffic volume of nearly 80,000 vehicles, with 22 percent trucks. The tremendous growth of the East Stroudsburg community has significantly increased the traffic flow through the Exit 308 interchange.
Several interchange alternatives were studied as part of the point of access study, and it was concluded the reconfiguration of the Exit 308 Interchange at Prospect Street will include two roundabouts as well as several local street realignments.
The project includes:
- Widening I-80 from 4 lanes to 6 lanes at the interchange;
- Replacement of the I-80 mainline bridge over Lincoln Avenue and the former Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad;
- Reconstruction of the interchange ramps to provide increased acceleration and deceleration lane lengths;
- Replacement of the Prospect Street Bridge to meet current vertical clearance standards over I-80;
- Several retaining walls along I-80 to limit the impact on right-of-way.
The project adds:
- Roundabouts at ramp termini;
- A new signal at the new T-intersection of Prospect Street and Forge Road/Greentree Drive;
- Signal improvements at Prospect Street and East Brown Street intersection.
The project will improve existing levels of service and overall traffic operations and safety. In addition, new signing, pavement markings, guide rail, and drainage will be provided.
