LEHIGH COUNTY, Pa. (WHTM) — A head’s up if you’ll be returning from the Poconos this weekend: part of the Pennsylvania Turnpike’s Northeast Extension will be closed this Sunday.
The closure will be southbound between the Lehigh Valley and Quakertown interchanges this Sunday from midnight to 6 a.m.
The Pennsylvania Turnpike says the closure will allow crews to install beams for a bridge replacement project on Tilghman Street.
Northbound traffic will not be impacted, the Turnpike says.
A detour will be in place using U.S. 22 East and PA 309 South to PA 663.
