PennDOT District 11 is announcing shoulder restrictions on Interstate 79 in Kennedy, Robinson, and Neville townships in Allegheny County will begin Monday, November 25 weather permitting.
There will be shoulder restrictions in both directions of I-79 between the Route 60 Crafton/Moon Run (Exit 60) interchange and the Neville Island Bridge from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays, as needed, through late December to allow crews to conduct miscellaneous electrical work. No work will occur on Thursday and Friday, November 28-29 for the Thanksgiving holiday.
This work is part of the $43.9 million I-79 “S-Bend” Project that included full-depth pavement reconstruction, bridge preservation work on five mainline structures (I-79 northbound and southbound over Clever Road, I-79 northbound and southbound over Route 51, and the Neville Island Bridge). Additionally, milling and paving of three ramps at the Route 51 (Coraopolis/McKees Rocks) interchange. The project also includes guiderail replacement, highway lighting and signing upgrades, new pavement markings and delineation, and other miscellaneous construction work.
