Lane restriction in place for Diverging Diamond Interchange Project
Uniontown, PA - Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) District 12 is announcing that nightly single-lane restrictions are scheduled to occur in both directions of Route 51 between McKenery Drive and Porter Drive in Rostraver Township, Westmoreland County, beginning Tuesday, August 25. All work depends on weather and operations.
Single-lane restrictions on Route 51 are scheduled to occur from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM until mid-September, replacing the current daytime restrictions from 6:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
The restrictions will be in place to allow crews from Golden Triangle to perform paving operations on Route 51.
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 through the work zone. Safety is everyone’s responsibility.
