PennDOT will institute a single-lane restriction on the Parkway East on Monday night as the agency continues maintenance related to the Commercial Street Bridge replacement project.
I-376 will be restricted eastbound between the Squirrel Hill/Homestead interchange (Exit 74) and the Edgewood/Swissvale interchange (Exit 77) beginning at 9 p.m. on Monday and through 5 a.m. on Tuesday.
Workers will conduct concrete pouring operations.
Workers successfully replaced the Commercial Street Bridge over the summerusing a lateral slide maneuver and a system of hydraulic jacks. The bridge was fully closed to traffic for 17 days but reopened one week ahead of schedule.
However, PennDOT expects wrap-up work on the $95 million project to stretch into next summer. The agency is simultaneously working on the $100 million Parkway East Betterment Project to extend the life of the roadway and its more than 20 supporting bridges.
Commuters can monitor traffic conditions on the state’s dedicated website, 511PA.
