Pittsburgh, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is announcing long-term lane restrictions on I-376 (Parkway East) in the Municipality of Monroeville, Allegheny County will begin Monday, March 16 weather permitting.
Beginning at approximately 7:00 AM on Monday, a long-term, around-the-clock single-lane restriction will be implemented on I-376 in both directions between the Penn Hills (Exit 81) and Monroeville/Plum (Exit 84 A/B) interchanges through Friday, April 17. Crews will conduct median barrier reconstruction, concrete repairs, asphalt improvements, and other miscellaneous construction activities.
Crews will begin the long-term lane closure in the eastbound direction and immediately move to close a lane in the westbound direction. Please use caution if traveling through the corridor while the traffic control measures are being installed.
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) exit are anticipated to conclude in the fall 2026. Swank Construction Company, LLC is the prime contractor.
