The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that the contractor for its Interstate preservation project impacting I-80 between mile markers 147 and 159 in Boggs and Snow Shoe townships in Centre County is set to begin work on Wednesday, July 15. This project will improve the ride quality and extend the service life of nearly 12 miles of road as well as enhance safety for travelers through the installation of various Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) devices.
Drivers on I-80 westbound will encounter temporary lane closures during daylight hours between mile markers 163 and 156 while crews complete patching along the center and edge lines. Then, starting on Monday, July 20, the contractor will implement a long-term closure of the left (passing) along I-80 eastbound through the same stretch. While this lane is closed, a 12-foot width restriction will be in place.
These temporary lane closures begin within the work zone for High-Speed Interchange project between I-80 and I-99. The contractor on that project will complete shoulder backup and other miscellaneous construction during this timeframe to limit future impacts to on the traveling public.
PennDOT anticipates work for this construction season ending in November and continuing into the 2027 construction season, but it reminds drivers that all construction schedules are subject to change due to weather or other circumstances.
