PennDOT/BPC Closure of Tippecanoe Road for I-80 Canoe Creek Bridge Reconstruction in Clarion County

Tippecanoe Road leading to the twin bridges to be demolished due to the new bridge that replaced the two.

If you’ve driven on Interstate 80, in the past few weeks, between Knox and Shippenville, you would have crossed over the newly constructed Canoe Creek Bridge. In an uneventful opening, the new single bridge replaces the two older Canoe Creek bridges.

Indiana, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and Bridging Pennsylvania Constructors (BPC) are announcing a temporary closure of Tippecanoe Road (State Route 4005) in support of the I-80 Canoe Creek Bridges project in Clarion County. 

Tippecanoe Road will be closed to through traffic beginning January 12 through January 16. Unexpected delays due to the nature of the work or inclement weather may push the detour through the weekend and into the following week. The closure is necessary to allow crews to safely perform demolition activities associated with the ongoing bridge reconstruction.

Motorists are encouraged to follow posted detours and allow additional travel time.

This project is part of the ongoing PennDOT Major Bridges P3 Program. Bridging Pennsylvania Developers – I (BPD-I) is led jointly by Shikun & Binui Ltd and Macquarie Capital as Lead Project Developers and Equity Members. The Bridging Pennsylvania Constructors (BPC) joint venture (JV) consortium includes the design & construction expertise of S&B USA Construction (Pittsburgh, PA) and FCC Construction. S&B USA Construction is the construction arm of Shikun & Binui Ltd and is also the parent company of Fay, S&B USA Construction (Pittsburgh, PA), one of the four BPC Major Bridge subcontractors. Other Major Bridge subcontractors include the H&K Group (Skippack, PA), Kokosing Construction Company (Pittsburgh, PA), Wagman Heavy Civil (York, PA), and Lead Designer, Michael Baker International (Pittsburgh, PA).
