Southbound Route 28 Restriction Lifted in Allegheny County

Pittsburgh, PA – PennDOT District 11 is announcing the single-lane restriction at the southbound Route 28 off-ramp at the Harmar/I-76/Route 910 (Exit 11) interchange in Harmar Township, Allegheny County, has been lifted.

A portion of the southbound Route 28 far-right deceleration lane to the Harmar/I-76/Route 910 (Exit 11) off-ramp has reopened to traffic. The restriction was put into place on Tuesday, May 23 as crews from Swank Construction Company conducted guide rail upgrades and slope reestablishment.

The work is part of the $27.68 million highway restoration project on Route 28 between Harmar/I-76/Route 910 (Exit 11) and Russelton/Creighton (Exit 13) interchanges. Construction will include milling and resurfacing, concrete pavement preservation, bridge rehabilitation and preservation, guide rail and drainage improvements, ITS upgrades, highway lighting, traffic signals, ADA curb ramps installation, signing and pavement marking, and other miscellaneous operations. During much of construction, long-term single-lane restrictions will occur. Work is expected to conclude in early 2024.
