Southbound I-79 Lane Closure Saturday in Allegheny County

​Pittsburgh, PA - PennDOT District 11 is announcing a lane closure on southbound I-79 in Kennedy, Robinson, and Neville townships, and Glenfield Borough in Allegheny County will occur Saturday, July 27 weather permitting.

Southbound I-79 will be restricted to a single-lane of traffic between the Route 51 on-ramp and the Route 60 Crafton/Moon Run (Exit 60 A/B) interchange from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday to allow crews to conduct shoulder repairs.

This work is part of the $43.9 million I-79 "S-Bend" Project that includes full-depth pavement reconstruction, bridge preservation work on five mainline structures (I-79 northbound and southbound over Clever Road, I-79 northbound and southbound over Route 51, and the Neville Island Bridge). Additionally, there will be milling and paving of three ramps at the Route 51 (Coraopolis/McKees Rocks) interchange. The project also includes guiderail replacement, highway lighting and signing upgrades, new pavement markings and delineation, and other miscellaneous construction work.
