The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation will soon begin work to relocate gas and water lines as part of the Karns Crossing Bridge replacement project in Butler and Summit townships.

As a result, between April 11 and May 23, traffic along Route 68/East Jefferson Street will be reduced to one lane from the Hospital Way to Delwood Road intersections from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The bridge replacement is expected to be completed in spring 2028, at a cost of $64.8 million.

PennDOT will also soon begin performing drainage upgrades on Route 228 between Middlesex and Adams townships starting Monday, April 14, as part of the Three Degree Road improvement project.

Traffic will be reduced to one lane between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. from Monday, April 14 through Friday, April 18, and flaggers will control traffic.

The Three Degree Road project is expected to finish in November 2026, at a cost of $55.8 million.
