A single-lane restriction will occur in the northbound I-79 lanes on the Neville Island Bridge between the Route 51/Neville Island (Exit 65) and the Route 65/Emsworth/Sewickley (Exit 66) interchanges from 7 p.m. Friday night continuously through 6 a.m. Monday morning to allow crews to conduct deck repair work. 

Please use caution when traveling through the project corridor.  Work zone safety is everyone’s responsibility.

This work is part of the $43.9 million I-79 “S-Bend” Project that included full-depth pavement reconstruction, bridge preservation work on five mainline structures (I-79 northbound and southbound over Clever Road, I-79 northbound and southbound over Route 51, and the Neville Island Bridge). Additionally, milling and paving of three ramps at the Route 51 (Coraopolis/McKees Rocks) interchange. The project also includes guiderail replacement, highway lighting and signing upgrades, new pavement markings and delineation, and other miscellaneous construction work.
