(Big Beaver, Pa.) The Pa Turnpike is now reporting in a press release that The Beaver Valley interchange (Exit 13) along the Pennsylvania Turnpike will now remain closed every day even on weekends in order for work to be completed by Oct. 10.

Crews are reconstructing the shoulders and resurfacing the ramps to and from the interchange. Initially work was going to only take place during weekdays. As the project began, the scope of the work needed to change. When reconstruction of the shoulders started, crews needed to remove the guide rail. Having no guide rail during construction is a safety issue for motorists, so the interchange will be closed for the entire three-week period

The suggested detour for motorists traveling on the turnpike who want to exit at Beaver Valley will be a detour to the New Castle interchange and then onto Route 351 (Fairlane BLVD) to Route 18 and for motorists who want to enter the turnpike at Beaver Valley are being detoured to New Castle interchange via  routes 18 and 351 (Fairlane BLVD). Detour signs will be posted to assist motorists.
