Work on a portion of Interstate 80 in Venango County is scheduled to begin this week, according to PennDOT.
The two-year-long project will improve eight miles of Interstate 80 from the Venango and Butler County line to a point one mile west of Exit 35, Clintonville, Route 308, in Clinton and Scrubgrass townships and Clintonville Borough in Venango County.
Construction is scheduled to begin on Thursday and is expected to be completed by Aug. 29, 2018.
Work on Interstate 80 will involve milling and resurfacing, along with concrete patching, bridge rehabilitation work and updated drainage, signs, pavement loop sensors and pavement markings. The project will also include construction of a new message board.
No detours are expected, but motorists will encounter lane restrictions with traffic controlled by signs and devices, PennDOT said.
The project is part of the state’s Road Maintenance and Preservation program. The program entails adding $500 million over the next 10 years to an already planned $500 million for interstate preservation and reconstruction, and another $600 million for rehabilitation and reconstruction needs identified through the department’s district and regional planning efforts.
