Pittsburgh, PA – PennDOT District 11 is announcing overnight lane restrictions on the I-79 Neville Island Bridge in Neville Township, Allegheny County, will begin Monday night, June 6 weather permitting.
Overnight single-lane restrictions will occur as needed on the I-79 Neville Island Bridge nightly from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. through late October. Crews will conduct bridge deck repair work.
The $43 million I-79 Neville Island Bridge Rehabilitation Project includes structural steel repairs, full structure painting, bearing and deck joint replacements, deck repairs and overlays, bridge barrier repair, substructure concrete work and drainage improvements. The project also includes concrete roadway reconstruction, guide rail replacement and preservation work on four sign structures. Additionally, preservation work will occur on the I-79 bridge over Deer Run Road, north of the Neville Island Bridge. Motorists will see ramp closures and single-lane and shoulder closures in each direction on I-79 during daylight off-peak and overnight hours.
