From staff reports
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is alerting drivers to long-term lane closures on Interstate 80 eastbound and westbound between Exit 78, Brookville, to Exit 70, Strattanville, because of road work starting Monday.
The paving project includes milling, patching, binder, leveling and wearing courses, as well as bridge preservation that includes an epoxy overlay and repair of bridge deck and approaches.
Contractor, IA Construction Co. Inc., of Franklin, will be setting long-term lane closures beginning at 7 a.m. Monday. There will be multiple lane closures that will alternate between the left and right lanes, both eastbound and westbound, throughout the duration of the project in Jefferson and Clarion counties, with a minimum of 5 miles between each closure.
The $17 million project is anticipated to be completed in fall.
