Uniontown, PA - Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) District 12 is announcing that a single-lane restriction is scheduled to occur on Interstate 70 westbound on Thursday, January 15 from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM between Exit 44 (Arnold City) and Exit 49 (Smithton) in Rostraver Township, Westmoreland County. All work depends on weather and operations.
Previous work scheduled on I70 eastbound today, January 14 was completed Tuesday, January 13.
