Pittsburgh, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is announcing long-term shoulder closures on Route 22/30/60 (Steubenville Pike/Lincoln Highway) in Robinson Township, Allegheny County, will begin Tuesday, August 4 weather permitting.
Starting at approximately 6:00 AM Tuesday, temporary barrier will be placed, requiring the following long-term shoulder closures through late June 2027:
· The spur shoulder from eastbound Route 22/30/60 to eastbound I-376
· The ramp shoulder from eastbound I-376 to eastbound Route 22/30/60
· The ramp shoulder from eastbound Route 22/30/60 to westbound I-376
All ramps and spurs will remain open.
Additionally, in order to install temporary barrier in preparation for the previously mentioned work, one of the two left turn lanes from eastbound Route 22/30/60 guiding traffic to the ramp to westbound I-376 will close to traffic from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM on Tuesday. Traffic will still have access to a single left turn lane.
On this $57.93 million project, the existing I-376 Parkway West/Route 22/30/60 interchange in Robinson Township will be reconfigured into District 11’s first Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI) partial cloverleaf interchange. The DDI will improve existing and future traffic flow, operations, queuing, and safety on I-376, associated ramps, and Route 60. Work includes bridge replacement, road and ramp reconstruction, slope treatment, drainage improvements, traffic signals upgrades, signing and pavement markings installation, and highway lighting updates. Restrictions include long-term traffic shifts on I-376, closures and detours on interchange ramps, long-term single-lane restrictions on Route 22/30, and closures and detours on Route 22/30 for bridge demolition, and the erection of new bridges. The overall project is expected to conclude in the fall of 2029. Golden Triangle is the prime Contractor.
Additionally, this project is the first in the I-376 Parkway West corridor to implement an aesthetic component to the design with a theme of Hidden Histories, serving as a guiding narrative to highlight often-overlooked layers of the region’s unique appeal.
Local artist, Kim Beck has been selected to contribute her concept, “Appalachian Ecology: Nature’s Quilt”. Beck’s design features simple shapes and silhouettes of local Appalachian plants and animal symbols like birds, deer, and native Pennsylvania trees. More information can be found online.
