    Route 28 Single-Lane Restrictions Wednesday, Thursday in Allegheny County

    December 11, 2023

    ​Pittsburgh, PA – PennDOT District 11 is announcing single-lane restrictions on Route 28 in Fox Chapel Borough and the City of Pittsburgh, Allegheny County will occur Wednesday and Thursday, December 13-14 weather permitting.

    Single-lane restrictions will occur in both directions on Route 28 Wednesday and Thursday to allow crews to install message boards according to the following schedule:

    Northbound Route 28

    • Beginning at approximately 7 a.m. through 3 p.m. between the Delafield Avenue (Exit 7) and Fox Chapel Road/Waterworks Drive/Freeport Road (Exit 8) interchanges

    Southbound Route 28

    • Beginning at approximately 9 a.m. through 6 p.m. from the Fox Chapel Road/Waterworks Drive/Freeport Road (Exit 8) interchange continuing approximately one mile south

    The work is part of the $15.32 million project to improve approximately 3.5 miles of Route 28 between the Delafield Avenue exit (Exit 7) and the Harmar Township line, approximately 1.75 miles north of the RIDC Park (Exit 10) interchange. Construction included minor road widening of the southbound lanes near the Freeport Road on-ramp (Exit 8) interchange to allow for the existing lanes to be reassigned. At the completion of the project, southbound Route 28 will maintain two through lanes and an exit only off-ramp to Fox Chapel Road. Work also included reconstruction of the Delafield Avenue ramps, concrete preservation work on the Fox Chapel ramps, milling and paving work on the RIDC Park ramps, and bridge preservation work on all structures within the project limits. Additionally, highway lighting upgrades, ITS upgrades, green stormwater features, guide rail upgrades, rockfall area cleanouts and fence repairs, and other miscellaneous construction are part of the project.
