    Route 28 Raised Pavement Marker Replacement Work Monday in Allegheny County

    October 09, 2026

    Pittsburgh, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is announcing raised pavement marker lens replacement work on Route 28 in Allegheny County will occur Monday night, October 12 weather permitting.

    There will be mobile single-lane restrictions in both directions of Route 28 and short-term ramp traffic stoppages on all associated off-ramps between East Ohio Street in the City of Pittsburgh and the Harmar/I-76/Route 910 (Exit 11) interchange in Harmar Township from 8:00 PM Monday night to 5:00 AM Tuesday morning. Crews will only impact one ramp at a time.

    Please stay alert and drive cautiously – safety is everyone’s responsibility.

    This $4.8 million safety project is located along Route 28 between the City of Pittsburgh and Harmar Township. Work includes installation of sensors, detectors, and cameras to detect wrong way drivers. If a driver enters Route 28 in the wrong direction, signs and lights will automatically activate to alert drivers and notifications will be sent to PennDOT’s Western Regional Traffic Management Center. Controller boxes, fiber optics, electrical components, cameras, signs, and lighting will all be installed within department right-of-way. All interchange exit ramps will be included along Route 28 between the Anderson Street ramp in the City of Pittsburgh and the Harmar/I-76/Route 910 (Exit 11) interchange in Harmar Township. There will be single-lane and shoulder restrictions through most of the project, with intermittent traffic stoppages as needed. Power Contracting Company is the prime contractor.
