​Motorists are advised the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and Bridging Pennsylvania Constructors announce a temporary traffic pattern change on Interstate 80 in support of the I-80 Lehigh Bridge Project.

The Contractor will utilize overnight lane restrictions starting Tuesday, between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m., with anticipated completion by Friday night to set temporary concrete barrier and place temporary line painting on I-80 Eastbound.

Motorists are advised to be alert for changing traffic patterns during this time.

This temporary traffic shift to the left will be in place through most of 2025 and will facilitate roadway improvements to the new I-80 Eastbound alignment, partial demolition of the existing Eastbound bridge, and construction of the new bridge over the Lehigh River.

Motorists can check conditions on major roadway miles by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information, and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras.
