I-79 Lane Restrictions Planned for 3-5 a.m. Tuesday

In the wee hours of Tuesday morning, single-lane traffic will occur on southbound I-79 in the area of the bridge over Mingo Road between Exits 73 and 75 in Marshall Township, PennDOT District 11 announced.

Restrictions will occur from 3 to 5 a.m. while crews test anchors for concrete barriers on the bridge, PennDOT said.

The work is part of a $10 million project that PennDOT said will be finished in the fall.

The prime contractor for the project is Swank Associated Companies Inc. of New Kensington.

PennDOT advises motorists to use caution, slow down, and expect changing traffic patterns when traveling through the area. Log on to 511pa.com or call 511 to check traffic conditions on major roadways before traveling.
