Work on this $14.97
million highway restoration project in Robinson and Kennedy townships began in
early April 2024. 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. The 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. 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.
