Traffic Advisories

New Westbound Ramp Configuration

Starting in September 2024 the I-76 on and off ramps at the Beaver Valler Interchange (#13) will be in a new configuration with a signalized intersection with Big Beaver Boulevard (SR-0018), see diagram below. Westbound traffic will exit I-76 and turn right for SR-0018 Northbound or left for SR-0018 Southbound. SR-0018 traffic choosing to travel west on I-76 can enter the system at the signalized intersection. Directional signage is in place for all traffic movements. Please use caution through the construction zone as there will be intermittent flagging for construction activities.

Updated-SR0018-Traffic-Flow-Temp-Ramp-JK

Thompson Run Road (T635) will remain closed to traffic until November 2024.

Commitment to Project Safety

On September 19, 2023, Beaver River Bridge General Contractor Joseph B. Fay hosted a safety banner signing for the project. The event was attended by personnel from Joseph B. Fay, subcontractors, suppliers, PA Turnpike, and ALCM construction management staff. The Fay Leadership Team spoke to their company philosophy “Living to Be Safe and Accident Free” and their commitment to safety on the project. All Beaver River Bridge Project team members signed the banner as their commitment to a safe project. Please see corresponding photos and safety commitment.
