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.

- 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.
