Commercial Street Bridge Replacement Project

The $95 million I-376 Commercial Street Bridge Replacement project is between the Edgewood/Swissvale (Exit 77) interchange in Swissvale Borough and Squirrel Hill Tunnel in the City of Pittsburgh. This project will utilize Accelerated Bridge Construction Techniques to laterally slide the new bridge onto the existing alignment of I-376. Work will also include the installation of new overhead signage and eastbound retaining wall, the current lowering the westbound I-376 off-ramp to Forest Hills/Wilkinsburg Interchange (Exit 78B) to increase vertical clearance under the Parkway East, concrete median barrier replacement, sanitary sewer line relocation, upgrades to guide rail, ITS Devices, Over Height Truck Detection System, and CCTV Cameras, as well as overall site restoration for both Frick Park and the Frick Park walking trail. In 2026, motorists can expect a 25-day full closure and detour of I-376. The overall project is anticipated to conclude in the summer of 2027.
