Construction Closes I-81 Moosic Exit

Construction Closes I-81 Moosic Exit - Sunday, July 19, 2009 at 6:35PM EST

LACKAWANNA/LUZERNE COUNTY- Many drivers using Interstate 81 in Luzerne and Lackawanna counties this weekend are getting used to traffic tie-ups.

Eyewitnesss News checked out afternoon traffic along I-81 southbound in the Pittston area. It's been down to one-lane since Saturday for construction work near mile marker 174.

Drivers were creeping along in a backlog that stretched about 3 miles. The traffic crunch is the result of drivers being switched to a new temporary bridge. Both lanes should reopen here by Monday morning.

And in Lackawanna County, a northbound exit is temporarily closed during I-81 construction work. Daytime drivers found exit 180 -- the Moosic interchange Ð closed Sunday.

Drivers who'd otherwise take that exit are forced to detour at exit 182 -- the Davis Street - Montage Mountain interchange.

However, traffic was flowing freely on this part of the highway. That's because single lane restrictions that started Friday night were lifted.
