Pittsburgh, PA – Drivers in the Pittsburgh area should prepare for lane restrictions and detours this weekend as the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) begins scheduled work on I-376 West (Parkway) near the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
According to PennDOT, road work on I-376 West at Exit 57 off I-76 will begin Friday at 9 p.m. and continue through Sunday evening. In addition, the Turnpike ramp from I-76 to I-376 West at Exit 57 will be closed Saturday from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m.
Motorists will need to follow a posted detour during the four-hour closure. The detour route will direct drivers to take the ramp for U.S. 22, turn right onto Haymaker Road, and then rejoin the Parkway/I-376.
PennDOT officials advise drivers to plan ahead, allow extra travel time, and use caution when driving through work zones. The agency also recommends considering alternate routes during the work period to avoid delays.
The improvements are part of ongoing maintenance and safety upgrades along the Parkway East corridor, which connects Monroeville to downtown. Traffic impacts are expected to be minimal outside the designated closure times, but motorists should remain alert for crews and changing traffic patterns throughout the weekend.
