Pittsburgh, PA – PennDOT District 11 is announcing lane restrictions on Steubenville Pike (Route 60) in Robinson Township, Allegheny County will occur Wednesday and Thursday, August 21-22 weather dependent.
The left-hand turning lanes in both directions of Route 60 at the intersection with Lorish Road and Haddock Road will be closed to traffic on Wednesday and Thursday, August 21-22 to allow signal installation work between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. each day. Motorists will still be able to turn left onto Lorish Road or Haddock Road from Route 60 from the through-lane at the intersection. Off-duty uniformed police officers will control traffic at the intersection.
Please use caution when traveling through the project corridor. Work zone safety is everyone’s responsibility.
Work on this $14.97 million highway restoration project in Robinson and Kennedy townships began in early April. The project begins at the I-376 Airport/Pittsburgh (Exit 59 A/B) interchange and continues approximately one-half mile north of the Route 60 Moon Run/Crafton (Exit 60 A/B) interchange. Work includes concrete pavement patching, guide rail and cable barrier replacement, highway lighting and signing updates, drainage work, pavement markings and other miscellaneous construction activities on mainline I-79 and ten ramps (four at the I-376 interchange and six ramps at the Route 60 interchange). There will be bridge preservation work on six structures (northbound and southbound I-79 bridges over I-376, Route 60, and Campbells Run Road), including concrete deck overlays, replacement of seals at expansion dams and deck joints, substructure concrete repairs, cleaning of bridge bearings and spot painting of the northbound and southbound I-79 steel I-beam bridges over I-376. The majority of the roadway work along mainline I-79 will be performed under short-term, single-lane closures during nighttime restrictions. There will be long-term lane restrictions in place for the bridge work, including six weekend-long lane restrictions. Additionally, there will be milling and paving operations on Route 60 between Lorish Road and Old Steubenville Pike, preservation work of six existing sign structures (one on northbound I-79 and five on southbound I-79) as well as concrete repairs and scour protection of two arch culverts underneath mainline I-79 and several ramps. The project is anticipated to conclude in the late spring of 2025.
The prime contractor is Golden Triangle Construction Company, Inc. Work on this project will be coordinated with other projects in the area.
