Eastbound exit ramp on I-70 to be closed next week
The eastbound exit ramp at Exit 44 (Arnold City) on Interstate 70 will be closed from 8 p.m. Monday through 6 a.m. Thursday, weather permitting.
The closure will be in place as the replacement of the bridge that carries Fayette Street over the interstate continues.
A marked detour will be in place using eastbound I-70 to Exit 49 (Smithton) to Fitz Henry Road and returning along westbound I-70 to the Exit 44 off-ramp.
Also, there will be 8 p.m. to 6 a.m single-lane restrictions on eastbound I-70 between Exit 43 (Donora/Fayette City) and Exit 44 from Monday through Thursday, weather permitting. The single-lane restrictions will allow crews to perform shoulder work.
