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 continue to
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 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.
