Pittsburgh, PA – PennDOT District 11 is
announcing a lane closure on southbound I-79 in Kennedy, Robinson, and Neville
townships, and Glenfield Borough in Allegheny County will occur Saturday, July 27 weather permitting.
Southbound I-79 will
be restricted to a single-lane of traffic between the Route 51 on-ramp and the
Route 60 Crafton/Moon Run (Exit 60 A/B) interchange from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Saturday to allow crews to conduct shoulder repairs.
This work is part of
the $43.9 million I-79 “S-Bend” Project that includes full-depth pavement
reconstruction, bridge preservation work on five mainline structures (I-79
