( WJET/WFXP )– Drivers who frequently use Route 77 in Bloomfield Township will need to account for a change in their commutes this summer, with one intersection set to close May 12 for most of the summer.
Route 77’s intersection with Route 8 will close on May 12, weather permitting, as crews get into the busy work of realigning the intersection.
Maintenance starting on I-79 bridges, expect delays: PennDOT
Detours will be in place using Route 408, Route 8, and Route 89 until late August when the intersection reopens. Drivers may still encounter temporary lane restrictions and traffic pattern shifts with traffic controlled by flaggers on Route 8.
During construction, crews will be installing a new flashing beacon at the intersection along with making improvements to the shoulder on each side of the road, paving, guide rail, drainage, road signs and pavement markings with the goal of being done by October 31.
