TRAFFIC ALERT: There will be periodic lane closures in both directions of Interstate 79 near the Bridgeville exit this week.
There will be periodic lane closures in both directions of Interstate 79 near the Bridgeville exit on Monday and Tuesday. PennDOT announced the single-lane closures at varying times from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. both days while crews inspect the bridge near Exit 54.
