FREEDOM -- PennDOT has announced northbound Route 65 in Freedom will be closed Friday night through Monday morning, weather permitting.

The northbound lanes will close to traffic 6 p.m. Friday and reopen 6 a.m. Monday as crews conduct painting on the bridge that carries traffic from Third Avenue to southbound Route 65 in Freedom. All northbound traffic will be detoured.

As the posted detour, northbound traffic will take the Freedom exit and follow Third Avenue to the northbound Route 65 ramp.

Additionally, southbound Route 65 traffic will be restricted to a single 10-foot, 6-inch lane during the entire weekend. Third Avenue will also be restricted to 10-foot, 6-inch lanes.

Four additional weekend closures are necessary to complete the bridge-painting operation.

This $20.21 million roadway project includes milling and resurfacing, concrete pavement patching, drainage and guardrail updates, ramp reconstruction, curb and sidewalk work, bridge and retaining wall preservation, sign structure maintenance and signal improvements. The overall project will conclude in late October 2017.

Gulisek Construction Co. is the prime contractor.
