The Route 215 bridge over Interstate 90 is expected to reopen Friday, as well as the eastbound and westbound on and off ramps for the road via exit 6, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT).

The work is part of a project to reconstruct seven miles of I-90 and the Route 18 interchange.

The bridge had been closed since it was hit by an overheight vehicle Jan. 11. The bridge was removed at that time because it was scheduled to be replaced as part of the I-90 project. Work to build the new bridge started in March 2021.

Rehabilitation work will begin on the McKee Road bridge, which crosses over I-90 near mile marker 5, on Aug. 2. The roadway will be closed, and drivers will need to follow a detour using Stoker Rd., Route 215 and Main St.

The McKee Road bridge was built in 1959 and is in fair condition. Approximately 50 vehicles use the bridge daily,.

Drivers on I-90 may see lane restrictions due to the bridge work.

Changes in travel advisories and other information related to the project can be found online at www.penndot.gov/I90Projects.

The bridge work is part of the $66.1 million project to reconstruct 6.85 miles of I-90 from near mile marker 3.5 east to near mile marker 10.5. The project is expected to take three years.
