Pittsburgh, PA – A multi-vehicle crash on I-376 eastbound near Exit 72A is causing major delays for commuters this morning.
According to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, the crash was reported around 7:49 a.m. this morning about six-tenths of a mile west of the Forbes Avenue/Oakland exit. Authorities said the incident prompted a lane restriction in the eastbound lanes, backing up morning traffic in the area.
PennDOT officials updated the situation at 8:04 a.m. and noted that restrictions are expected to remain in place until at least 9:45 a.m. as crews work to clear the scene. Drivers traveling toward Downtown Pittsburgh and Oakland are advised to use caution and seek alternate routes if possible.
No information has been released on possible injuries or the number of vehicles involved in the crash. Emergency responders remain on the scene as of this morning.
Traffic delays are impacting not only I-376 but also connecting roads as drivers reroute around the closure. Commuters heading toward the city should plan for extended travel times.
Motorists are encouraged to check PennDOT’s 511PA system for real-time updates and to allow extra time for their morning commute.
