    I-376 Parkway East Nightly Restrictions Begin Friday in Pittsburgh, Edgewood

    October 15, 2026

    Pittsburgh, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is announcing nightly lane restrictions on I-376 (Parkway East) in Edgewood Borough and the City of Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, will begin Friday night, October 16 weather permitting.

    Roadway slab work requiring overnight single lane closures on I-376 in each direction will occur between the Squirrel Hill Tunnel and the Edgewood/Swissvale (Exit 77) interchange according to the following schedule:

    ·       Friday, October 16 from 9:00 PM to noon Saturday, October 17

    The Commercial Street Bridge replacement project utilized Accelerated Bridge Construction Techniques to laterally slide the new bridge in alignment with I-376 (Parkway East), which was 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 Edgewood and Swissvale boroughs, 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). The overall project is anticipated to conclude in the summer of 2027.
