Pittsburgh, PA – PennDOT District 11 is announcing lane restrictions on I-376 (Parkway East) in Churchill Borough, Wilkins Township and the Municipalities of Penn Hills and Monroeville, Allegheny County, will occur Friday night through Monday morning, August 2-5 weather permitting.
I-376 will be reduced to a single-lane of traffic in each direction between the Penn Hills/Route 791 North (Exit 81) interchange and the bridge over Old William Penn Highway from 9 p.m. Friday night continuously through 5 a.m. Monday morning. Crews will reconstruct concrete bridge approach slabs, conduct latex placement and other concrete replacement work.
This work is part of the $70.1 million I-376 Parkway East Betterment Project. Work will include a superstructure replacement over Old William Penn Highway, two bridge rehabilitations over Old William Penn Highway/Lougay Road/Sunset Drive and Thompson Run Road/Thompson Run/Union Railroad, and six bridge preservations along the I-376. Throughout the project motorists can expect long-term single-lane restrictions, several weekends with traffic down to a single lane, and a long-term crossover in 2025. The improvements on the 4.5 miles of the Parkway East between the Churchill/Route 130 (Exit 79B) and Monroeville/Route 48 (Exit 84A) exit are anticipated to conclude in the fall 2026. Swank Construction Company, LLC is the prime contractor.
