Pittsburgh, PA – PennDOT District 11 is announcing nightly lane closures on I-376 (Parkway East) in the City of Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, will begin Monday, July 14 weather permitting.
Starting Monday night, eastbound I-376 will be reduced to a single lane between the Squirrel Hill Tunnel and the Birmingham Bridge nightly from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. through Thursday. Crews will conduct concrete deck, approach slab, asphalt, and median repairs. This work is expected to occur during weeknights for several weeks, however weekly updates will be provided prior to work occurring.
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.
