Lane Closures on I-99 Southbound Announced for Wednesday Night

Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that drivers should expect alternating lane closures on Interstate 99 southbound at a bridge spanning Route 550 (Buffalo Run Road) overnight on Wednesday, July 23, as crews return to complete final sealing of the concrete slab that expanded and buckled during the extreme temperatures last month.

PennDOT stated that the contractor completing the repairs will begin work at 6:00 PM on Wednesday and hopes to finish by 6:00 AM the following morning but noted that all schedules are weather dependent. One lane will remain open throughout the overnight hours. However, PennDOT urges motorists to exercise caution in this and all work zones, obey posted speed limit and work zone signage, and always buckle up.
