Pittsburgh, PA – PennDOT District 11 is announcing shoulder restrictions on Interstate 79 in Kennedy, Robinson, and Neville townships in Allegheny County will occur today, Friday, April 4 weather permitting.
There will be mobile shoulder restrictions in both directions of I-79 between the I-376 Airport/Pittsburgh (Exit 59 A-B) and the Route 60 Crafton/Moon Run (Exit 60) interchanges from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday to allow crews to conduct delineator installation work.
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.
