The New York State Department of Transportation says Interstate 81 northbound will be reduced to a single lane March 21 between Exit 4, which is the I-85 State Route 17 interchange, and the junction of Interstate 88 in the Town of Dickinson. The work that will detour northbound traffic using Exit 6 will be done between 6 p.m. March 21 and 6 a.m. Tuesday, March 22.
Starting at 6 p.m. Tuesday, March 22, Traffic on Interstate 81 northbound will be reduced to a single lane between Exit 4 and the junction of Interstate 88. There will be no Exit closure for that part of the project to re-construct the Exit 5 interchange on I-81. The overnight work on Tuesday is expected to be complete by 6 a.m. Wednesday, March 23.
All work is weather dependent.
Meanwhile, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation says there will be a lane restriction on Interstate 81 north and south in Susquehanna County starting this week and lasting into next month.
