SUSQUEHANNA COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — PennDOT has announced a change to the traffic pattern on Interstate 81 in Susquehanna County.
The project was initially going to begin on January 13 and run until to January 27. There has been an update and the work has been rescheduled to a later date to be announced. Between mile markers 228 to 232.7, the southbound lanes will be transitioned to a new lane and the median starting at the New York State line.
Low temps continue as light snow expected this weekend
Ramp B and C southbound off-ramps to and from State Route 171 will be detoured and closed for one to two days during the beginning of the project.
This is part of the I-81 Susquehanna Bridges Project which will address the aging infrastructure, outdated interchange designs, and drainage concerns. You can see video from the informational public meeting held on June 15, 2023.
