Temporary closures of entrance and exit ramps needed to make repairs.

The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission advises motorists of nightly ramp closures at the New Stanton Interchange, Exit 75, in New Stanton, Westmoreland County from May 29 through June 5.

The exit ramp leading to U.S. Route 119 and Turnpike 66 along with the entrance ramp from I-70 east will be restricted allowing crews to safely make repairs to the bridge over I-70.

From May 29 at 6 p.m. through May 31 at 2 p.m., this posted, 2-mile detour for traffic entering the Turnpike from I-70 east will be in effect:

I-70 east to U.S. Route 119/Turnpike 66 Exit (#58)

Take U.S. Route 119/Turnpike 66 Exit (#0B) to I-70/I-76

Follow signs to I-76 to enter the Turnpike

From June 1 through June 5 the above detour, as well as a posted 1.7-mile detour for travelers exiting the Turnpike to U.S. Route 119 and Turnpike 66 will be in effect each night from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m.: 

I-70 west toward New Stanton/Washington PA

Take the Hunker Exit (57A) and follow the posted detour through the round-abouts

Reenter I-70 east and follow signs for U.S. Route 119/Turnpike 66

The work consists of heat straightening a bridge beam, plus drainage and ramp improvements. Additional ramp repairs as well as bridge and line painting will take place throughout the summer with minimal affect to traffic.
