Pittsburgh, PA – Nightly single-lane restrictions on McKnight Road (Route 4003) in Ross and McCandless townships and parts of the City of Pittsburgh start Wednesday night. Restrictions are scheduled to run through Friday night, weather permitting.
PennDOT District 11 officials announce that single-lane restrictions will occur nightly from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. between Perrymont Road and Roseland Avenue. A separate single-lane restriction will occur between Roseland Avenue and Venture Street beginning at 8 p.m. Wednesday and ending by 6 a.m. Saturday morning.
The project is part of a $26.9 million McKnight Road improvement initiative. Work includes milling and paving, bridge and culvert preservation, base and drainage repairs, pipe cleaning, ADA upgrades, waterline replacement, and new traffic signage.
Crews will add new markings between Venture Street and Perrymont Road and improvements at several key intersections.
PennDOT stated that the project also calls for intermittent ramp closures and temporary detours. These will include a future 12-day closure at the Nelson Run Road interchange and two weekend closures at the Venture Street intersection.
Lindy Paving, Inc., the prime contractor, expects all work to be completed in spring 2025.
Motorists are advised to plan for delays and monitor traffic conditions through the state’s traveler information system, 511PA. Updates are also available through PennDOT’s District 11 email subscription alerts.
