CLEARFIELD – Route 970 in Clearfield County at the Interstate 80, Woodland/123 interchange was re-opened to traffic around 3 p.m. today, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT).
Drivers can now access I-80 from both directions of Route 970 and can also use Route 970 to and from Route 322 at Woodland.
The road was closed on Feb. 24 at the I-80/123 interchange after the I-80 eastbound bridge spanning Route 970 was damaged after being struck by a vehicle. Crews have been working since then to re-open the road to traffic.
The right/travel lane of the bridge on I-80 eastbound at the Woodland interchange remains closed, with traffic using the bridge’s left/passing lane. Long-term traffic control for this lane is in place.
