Interstate 79 Weeknight Lane Restrictions Begin Tuesday in Allegheny County

Single-lane restrictions will occur in both directions of I-79 between the Route 60 Crafton/Moon Run (Exit 60) interchange and the Neville Island Bridge each weeknight from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. through mid-November. However, work will not begin until 8 p.m., tonight, Tuesday, November 5.

Work is weather dependent and may not occur each night.

This work is part of the $43.9 million I-79 "S-Bend" Project that included 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, 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.
