    Westbound I-376 Parkway East Long-term Lane Restriction Begins Monday Night in Allegheny County

    October 30, 2026

    Pittsburgh, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is announcing a long-term lane restriction for median barrier sealing work on westbound I-376 (Parkway East) in Churchill Borough, Wilkins Township, and the municipalities of Monroeville and Penn Hills, Allegheny County will begin Monday night, November 2.

    To accommodate median barrier sealing work, the following restrictions will occur on westbound I-376 between the Monroeville/Plum (Exit 84 A/B) and Penn Hills (Exit 81) interchanges through 5:00 AM Monday, November 16:

    • A long-term around-the-clock lane closure will be implemented on westbound I-376 at 9:00 PM Monday night within the three-lane section.
    • Traffic will be reduced to a single-lane of traffic, as needed, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM each night.
    • Mobile rolling lane restrictions may occur within the two lane sections of westbound I-376.

    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.
