The work is part of
the $15.32 million project to improve approximately 3.5 miles of Route 28
between the Delafield Avenue exit (Exit 7) and the Harmar Township line,
approximately 1.75 miles north of the RIDC Park (Exit 10) interchange.
Construction will include minor road widening of the southbound lanes near the
Freeport Road on-ramp (Exit 8) interchange to allow for the existing lanes to
be reassigned. At the completion of the project, southbound Route 28 will
maintain two through lanes and an exit only off-ramp to Fox Chapel Road. Work
included reconstruction of the Delafield Avenue ramps, concrete
preservation work on the Fox Chapel ramps, milling and paving work on the RIDC
Park ramps, and bridge preservation work on all structures within the project
limits. Additionally, highway lighting upgrades, ITS upgrades, green stormwater
features, guide rail upgrades, rockfall area cleanouts and fence repairs, and
other miscellaneous construction are part of the project.
