Pittsburgh, PA – PennDOT District 11 is announcing a traffic shift on Interstate 376 in Robinson, Moon and North Fayette townships, Allegheny County, will begin Saturday night, August 15 weather permitting.

Traffic will be shifted into two 11-foot wide lanes in each direction of I-376 between the US 22/30 Weirton (Exit 60A) and Business Loop 376 Moon (Exit 57) interchanges as crews begin median barrier replacement work.
