PennDOT District 11 is announcing single-lane restrictions on Interstate 79 and Interstate 376 (Parkway West) in Robinson and Kennedy townships, Allegheny County will begin Monday, March 10 weather permitting.
Single-lane restrictions will occur from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. each weeknight through mid-May to allow crews to conduct patching, grinding work, rumble strip and raised pavement marker installation, bridge deck grooving, pavement markings, and highway lighting upgrades in the following locations:
- In both directions of I-79 between the I-376 Airport/Pittsburgh (Exit 59 A-B) interchange and approximately one-half mile north of the Route 60 Moon Run/Crafton (Exit 60 A-B) interchange
- In both directions of I-376 (Parkway West) between the I-79 (Exit 64A) interchange and the on-ramp from I-79
Work on this $14.97 million highway restoration project in Robinson and Kennedy townships began in April 2024. 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.
