Bridge Preservation Project Continues on I-80 EB in Union and Northumberland Counties for Bridge Project

​Montoursville, PA - Motorists are advised that a bridge preservation project will continue on bridges carrying Interstate 80 eastbound over the West Branch Susquehanna River in Union and Northumberland Counties.

Beginning Monday, September 9, 2024, the contractor will be performing work to shift eastbound traffic to begin a new phase of the project. This work includes eradicating pavement markings, applying new pavement markings, and shifting channelizing devices.

Motorists can expect alternating lane restrictions between the hours of 2:00 AM and 9:00 AM until the new traffic pattern is fully in place.

Motorists should be alert, slow down, and expect possible delays in travel.
