PennDOT: Work to Restart on I-90 Reconstruction Project in Western Erie County

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that the reconstruction of Interstate 90 from mile marker 3.5 to mile marker 10.5 will restart early next month. 

Mile markers 3.5 to 10.5 covers Springfield Township, Girard Township, and Platea Borough, Erie County. 

Work will kick off on Monday, April 3rd and will start with placing barriers along the eastbound lanes. PennDOT said this will include some nighttime work between April 5th to 10th.

Eastbound traffic will be limited to one lane throughout the 2023 construction season. Once the barrier is in place, the westbound lanes will also be closed. Traffic will be shifted to one lane along the eastbound side of the highway. 

Reconstruction work this year will include: replacing the bridge that carries the westbound lanes over Neiger Rd., updates to the drainage, guiderail, cable median barrier, highway lighting, and pavement markings. 

The reconstruction project started in 2021. The project is part of PennDOT's plan to reconstruct or restore approximately 28 miles of 1-90 over 10 years.
