Uniontown, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is announcing single-lane restrictions are scheduled to occur in both directions of Interstate 70 between Exit 54 (Madison) and Exit 57 (New Stanton Hunker) in Hempfield Township, Westmoreland County next week.

Nightly single-lane restrictions will be in place Monday, November 9 until Friday, November 13 from 8:00 PM to 6:00 AM.
