    Eastbound I-376 Parkway East Overnight Restrictions Thursday in Pittsburgh, Edgewood

    January 06, 2026

    Pittsburgh, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is announcing an overnight lane and shoulder restriction on eastbound (outbound) I-376 (Parkway East) in Edgewood Borough and the City of Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, will occur Thursday night, January 8 weather permitting.

    An eastbound lane and shoulder closure will occur from 9:00 PM Thursday night until 5:00 AM Friday morning between the Squirrel Hill Tunnel and the Edgewood/Swissvale (Exit 77) interchange as crews place temporary barrier within the work zone. 

    The Commercial Street Bridge replacement project will utilize Accelerated Bridge Construction Techniques to laterally slide the new bridge onto the existing alignment of I-376 (Parkway East), which would be one of the largest lateral slide projects performed in Pennsylvania. The $95 million project located between the Edgewood/Swissvale (Exit 77) interchange and Squirrel Hill Tunnel in Swissvale Borough and the City of Pittsburgh began in June of 2024 with the reconstruction of the westbound I-376 off-ramp to Forest Hills/Wilkinsburg (Exit 78B). In 2026, motorists can expect a 25-day full closure and detour of I-376. The overall project is anticipated to conclude in the summer of 2027.

    To help keep motorists informed as work progresses, PennDOT has created an email distribution list for Parkway East traffic advisories and construction updates. Enroll by sending email addresses to ymanyisha@pa.gov.  Please write “Subscribe – Parkway East” in the subject line.
