WHITE DEER — The contractor working on the Route 15 bridges just north of Interstate 80 in Union County will make some traffic pattern changes this week.

On Tuesday, southbound traffic will be switched to the other lane so work can begin on the other side of the southbound bridge. The switch will take place mid-morning so any traffic impacts are kept to a minimum.

The traffic switch in the northbound lanes is scheduled for Thursday morning, again around the same time, to minimize traffic impacts.

These traffic switches are dependent on favorable weather.

Motorists are asked stay alert for the upcoming changes in traffic patterns through this work zone this week.
