Pittsburgh, PA – PennDOT District 11 is
announcing lane restrictions on Steubenville Pike (Route 60) in Robinson
Township, Allegheny County have been extended.
Single-lane and
shoulder restrictions will occur on northbound Steubenville Pike between the
I-79 north and south interchange ramps around-the-clock through early November
to allow crews to conduct overhead bridge substructure repair work. The
restriction could be lifted earlier if work is completed sooner.
Work on this $14.97
million highway restoration project in Robinson and Kennedy townships began in
early April. The project begins at the I-376 Airport/Pittsburgh (Exit 59 A/B)
interchange and continues approximately one-half mile north of the Route 60 Moon
Run/Crafton (Exit 60 A/B) interchange. Work includes concrete pavement
patching, guide rail and cable barrier replacement, highway lighting and
signing updates, drainage work, pavement markings and other miscellaneous
construction activities on mainline I-79 and ten ramps (four at the I-376
interchange and six ramps at the Route 60 interchange). There will be bridge
preservation work on six structures (northbound and southbound I-79 bridges
over I-376, Route 60, and Campbells Run Road), including concrete deck
overlays, replacement of seals at expansion dams and deck joints, substructure
concrete repairs, cleaning of bridge bearings and spot painting of the
northbound and southbound I-79 steel I-beam bridges over I-376. The majority of
the roadway work along mainline I-79 will be performed under short-term,
single-lane closures during nighttime restrictions. There will be long-term lane restrictions in place for the
bridge work, including six weekend-long lane restrictions. Additionally, there
will be milling and paving operations on Route 60 between Lorish Road and Old
Steubenville Pike, preservation work of six existing sign structures (one on
northbound I-79 and five on southbound I-79) as well as concrete repairs and
scour protection of two arch culverts underneath mainline I-79 and several
ramps. The project is anticipated to conclude in the late spring of 2025.
The prime contractor
is Golden Triangle Construction Company, Inc. Work on this project will be
coordinated with other projects in the area.
