Beaver Valley Interchange Eastbound Ramp to Temporarily Close 

Temporary ramp to be constructed this weekend, detour will be posted .

BEAVER COUNTY, PA — Travelers are advised that construction crews will be temporarily closing the eastbound ramp at the Beaver Valley Interchange (Exit 13) of the Pennsylvania Turnpike (Interstate 76) this coming weekend. 

The ramp will be closed, weather permitting, starting at 9:00 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 4, until 9:00 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 5. The closure is necessary to allow for the construction of a temporary on and off-ramp so work can continue as part of the ongoing Beaver River Bridge Replacement Project. 

During the closure, Turnpike drivers will be advised to exit at the New Castle Interchange (Exit 10). Motorists can then use the following detour to get to PA Route 18: 

  • After taking Exit 10, keep left toward Interstate 376 West (New Castle), then keep right and exit toward PA Route 351.  
  • At the intersection, turn left onto Shenango Road, travel 0.4 miles. 
  • Turn right onto PA Route 351 (Fairlane Boulevard), travel 2.2 miles to PA Route 18 (Big Beaver Boulevard). 

Those looking to enter the Turnpike eastbound at Exit 13 can take the following detour: 

  • Travel PA Route 18 (Big Beaver Boulevard) north 1.3 miles and turn left onto PA Route 351 (Fairlane Boulevard). 
  • Travel 2.2 miles and turn left onto Shenango Drive. 
  • Travel 0.2 miles and turn right onto exit for I-376/I-76/Pennsylvania Turnpike 

Additionally, PennDOT will be closing one lane of PA Route 18 North from one mile north to one mile south of the interchange during the closure period.
