Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced it will close Interstate 80 eastbound near exit 97/DuBois-Brockway in Clearfield County at 10:00 PM on Sunday, April 6, and reopen it on Monday, April 7 at 1:00 AM.
This portion of I-80 is within the limits of an ongoing Interstate preservation project between mile markers 97 and 120. PennDOT closed the right (travel) lane on March 28 and shifted traffic onto the left (passing) lane and shoulder. The increased traffic along the shoulder has caused settlement damage that PennDOT must repair to ensure public safety.
While the bridge is closed, PennDOT will direct traffic off the interstate at exit 97. Drivers will follow Route 219 southbound for approximately 250 feet before turning left onto a crossover lane to merge back onto I-80. Flaggers in the roadway will provide traffic control at the ramp and the crossover lane.
