An emergency detour has been implemented on the SR 8005 bridge in Luzerne County.
At this time, the ramp from I-80 east to I-81 north in Butler Township has been closed, and is expected to reopen within the next two to three days.
Earlier today, construction crews discovered an unforeseen void underneath the approach slab.
Motorists will be detoured approximately two miles to Route 309 and onto the I-81 northbound ramp.
