The Pennsylvania Welcome Center for Interstate 80 eastbound in West Middlesex, Mercer County, is expected to be closed for several hours today as paving is completed on the ramps.


Access to the ramps will be closed at 4:00 PM on July 7, 2026, in order for asphalt paving to be completed. The center will reopen once work has been completed, which is expected to be late in the evening.


The work is being done in connection with the reconstruction project from mile marker 0 to mile marker 5. Read more about the project online at www.pa.gov/DOTDistrict1.


PennDOT urges drivers to slow down when driving in work zones, and to be alert to changing conditions, avoid distractions and to pay attention to signs and flaggers. Drive responsibly in work zones for your safety and the safety of the workers.
