Pittsburgh, PA - PennDOT District 11 is announcing shoulder restrictions on I-376 (Parkway West) in Robinson Township, Allegheny County will continue Tuesday night, November 5 weather permitting.
There will continue to be shoulder restrictions on I-376 in both directions between the southbound I-79 on-ramp to westbound I-376 and the northbound I-79 on-ramp to eastbound I-376 according to the following schedule:
Weekdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Weeknights from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.
However, work will not begin until 8 p.m., tonight, Tuesday, November 5.
These restrictions will be in place through late November to allow crews to conduct lighting replacement work and spalling repairs on the structure carrying I-79 traffic over I-376.
Work on this $14.97 million highway restoration project in Robinson and Kennedy townships began in early April. The project begins at the I-376 Airport/Pittsburgh (Exit 59 A/B) interchange and continues approximately one-half mile north of the Route 60 Moon Run/Crafton (Exit 60 A/B) interchange. Work includes concrete pavement patching, guide rail and cable barrier replacement, highway lighting and signing updates, drainage work, pavement markings and other miscellaneous construction activities on mainline I-79 and ten ramps (four at the I-376 interchange and six ramps at the Route 60 interchange). There will continue to be bridge preservation work on six structures (northbound and southbound I-79 bridges over I-376, Route 60, and Campbells Run Road), including concrete deck overlays, replacement of seals at expansion dams and deck joints, substructure concrete repairs, cleaning of bridge bearings and spot painting of the northbound and southbound I-79 steel I-beam bridges over I-376. Additionally, there will be preservation work of six existing sign structures (one on northbound I-79 and five on southbound I-79) as well as concrete repairs and scour protection of two arch culverts underneath mainline I-79 and several ramps. The project is anticipated to conclude in the late spring of 2025.
The prime contractor is Golden Triangle Construction Company, Inc. Work on this project will be coordinated with other projects in the area.
