## Resource

Drivers, brace yourself: I-279 northbound lanes are shutting down for five nights starting July 20th for the demolition of Jacks Run Bridge 3 — and it’s going to be a wild ride. Expect full closures from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. nightly between McKnight Road and Camp Horne Road, with HOV lanes closing even earlier. Southbound lanes will also be restricted. The work is weather-dependent and has already been delayed. Detours will route you through local roads like McKnight and Camp Horne. Things get even trickier on Friday night into Saturday morning, with closures extending past the Pirates game until 9 a.m. — and yes, HOV and southbound restrictions will stretch too. This isn’t the end — intermittent closures will continue through August, with new schedules released every Friday until the bridge project is complete.
