PennDOT District 12 would like to inform motorists of road restrictions on Route 50 located in Cecil Township, Washington County. The restrictions will be located between Route 1001 (Reissing Road) and Route 978 in Allegheny County.

The restrictions will begin on Monday, July 27 and will continue one week, weather permitting. Eastbound traffic on Route 50 will be periodically stopped to allow for the safe removal of bridge overhangs. The stoppages will occur between the hours of 9 am and 3 pm. The work is part of the Pennsylvania Turnpike Southern Beltway project.

Work on this project will be in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and state Department of Health guidance as well as a project-specific COVID-19 safety plan, which will include protocols for social distancing, use of face coverings, personal and job-site cleaning protocols, management of entries to the jobsite, and relevant training.
