Pittsburgh, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is announcing lane restrictions for various construction operations on I-376 (Parkway East) in Churchill Borough and the municipalities of Monroeville and Penn Hills, Allegheny County will begin Monday, August 3 weather permitting.
To accommodate raised pavement marker, rumble strip, and guiderail installation work, line painting operations, and paint containment removal on I-376 Parkway East in both directions between the Monroeville/Plum (Exit 84 A/B) and Churchill/Route 130 (Exit 79B) interchanges, the following restrictions will occur through early September according to the schedule listed below:
- Short-term single-lane restrictions will occur, as needed, from 6:00 AM to 5:00 PM each day.
- Traffic will be reduced to a single-lane of traffic, as needed, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM each night.
The restrictions could be lifted earlier if the work is completed sooner.
This work is part of the $70.1 million I-376 Parkway East Betterment Project. Work includes 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.
