Motorists traveling on Interstate 78 East in Lehigh County will face nighttime lane restrictions due to upcoming construction work scheduled for early November, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation<\/a> says. <\/p>\n

The lane restrictions will be in effect between Exit 57 (Lehigh Street) and Exit 60 (Route 309), impacting the City of Allentown, Salisbury, and Upper Saucon Townships.<\/p>\n

A PennDOT contractor will be performing the construction work from Sunday through Friday. The restrictions will be in place nightly from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m., and motorists should expect delays and use caution when driving through the work zone.<\/p>\n

Officials note that weather conditions could affect the project timeline, as rain may cause delays.<\/p>\n
