Construction update

Feb. 13, 2000
Interstate 80
A contractor has begun replacing the deck on an overpass near Exit 7 in
Clarion County, requiring I-80 westbound traffic to be restricted to a single lane during
daylight hours. The $1.3 million project is expected to last until October.
Pennsylvania Turnpike
A few lane shifts are in effect in places, but two lanes are open in both directions on
the east-west mainline and the Northeast Extension. Updated information is
available at (800) 331-3414, or visit www.paturnpike.com
West McMurray Road
West McMurray Road from the North Strabane-Peters line and to
Donaldson’s Crossroads is closed through May 2000 for a $1 million improvement,
including a left-turn standby lane to Route 19 and a new bridge over Little Chartiers
Creek. The detour is via Route 19, McClelland Road and Morganza Road.
U.S. 22
Traffic is slow-moving while PennDOT builds a split-level interchange at Route 66, west of Delmont. The restrictions on
the traffic "run-around" will continue through winter. Visit www.route22.penndot.state.pa.us for
information on all Route 22 plans.
Route 119
PennDOT is replacing the concrete bridge on Route 119 in Crabtree. Since
Route 119 is heavily used as a connector between Greensburg and Route 22 near New
Alexandria, temporary signals have been installed to maintain one lane of traffic, one
direction at a time. Work is to continue through spring.
