Eastbound Interstate 70 lane restriction to be implemented tomorrow.
Work is part of the Diverging Diamond Interchange Project.
Uniontown, PA - Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) District 12 is announcing that a single-lane restriction is scheduled on eastbound Interstate 70 between Exit 49 (Smithton) and Exit 46 (Pittsburgh/Uniontown) in Rostraver Township, Westmoreland County on Thursday, July 09 from 6:00 AM until 4:00 PM.
Crews from Golden Triangle Construction will perform erosion and sediment work.
The westbound I-70 single-lane restriction that began on June 17 remains in place and is expected to continue through the end of July.
All work is weather and operations dependent.
This work is part of the $120.6 million I-70 at Route 51 Interchange Project, which will reconstruct I-70 at Exit 46 to make the section similar to other reconstructed sections to the east and west. A Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI) will replace the current substandard cloverleaf Route 51 interchange.
Drivers are asked to exercise caution driving through the work zone. Safety is everyone’s responsibility.
