Briefly Noted: PennDOT Crews Report Area Work

Category: Announcements || By Submitted Reports

Motorists who use the Parkway East or Tri-Boro Expressway are being prepared for possible delays as two construction projects get underway.

In addition, state highway crews are repairing slide damage on Dillie Road in North Huntingdon Township, a spokesman said.

. . .

The outbound lanes of the Parkway East are being restricted to a single lane in Monroeville, beginning today, as crews apply sealant to a new bridge, says Jim Struzzi, PennDOT District 11 spokesman.

The restrictions will occur from 4 a.m. to 2 p.m. weekdays. The bridge carries the Parkway East --- Interstate 376 --- over Business Route 22 between the Monroeville off-ramp and the Pennsylvania Turnpike, Struzzi says. The work is part of a $19 million project that began in 2010. The prime contractor for the project is Swank Construction Company of New Kensington.

. . .

Meanwhile, in East Pittsburgh, concrete patching will get underway next week on the Tri-Boro Expressway between East Pittsburgh-McKeesport Boulevard and O'Connell Boulevard, Struzzi says.

The work is designed to improve the ride on the expressway and Braddock Avenue. Long-term lane closures in both directions will begin at 7 a.m. Monday and continue through late June. One lane will remain open at all times in each direction.

PennDOT crews will perform the work.

In North Huntingdon, PennDOT crews are repairing damage caused by a rockslide on Dillie Road (SR 4031), says Westmoreland County Maintenance Manager Tim Cook. The work is being done weather-permitting.
