    I-376 Parkway East Overnight Lane Restrictions Begin Monday Night in Pittsburgh

    October 31, 2025

    Pittsburgh, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is announcing nightly lane closures on I-376 (Parkway East) in the City of Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, will begin Monday night, November 3 weather permitting.

    A single-lane restriction will occur on I-376 in both directions between the Birmingham Bridge and the Squirrel Hill Tunnel from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM weeknights through mid-November. Crews will conduct concrete median barrier replacement and repair work.

    This work is part of the $70.1 million I-376 Parkway East Betterment Project. Work will include a superstructure replacement over Old William Penn Highway, two bridge rehabilitations over Old William Penn Highway/Lougeay Road/Sunset Drive and Thompson Run Road/Thompson Run/Union Railroad, and six bridge preservations along the I-376. Throughout the project motorists can expect long-term single-lane restrictions, several weekends with traffic down to a single lane, and a long-term crossover in 2025. The improvements on the 4.5 miles of the Parkway East between the Churchill/Route 130 (Exit 79B) and Monroeville/Route 48 (Exit 84A) exits are anticipated to conclude in the fall 2026. Swank Construction Company, LLC is the prime contractor.
