Pittsburgh, PA – PennDOT District 11 is announcing single-lane restrictions on northbound Route 28 at the Harmar exit ramps will begin Wednesday, May 25 weather permitting.

Long-term single-lane restrictions and lane shifts will occur on northbound Route 28 at the Harmar (Exit 11) on and off exit ramps around-the-clock through the end of July. Crews from Swank Construction Company will perform shoulder and lane widening and reconstruction. The off-ramp to Route 910 will be restricted to a single lane. Work on this project will be coordinated with other projects occurring on Route 28.

The work is part of the $27.68 million highway restoration project on Route 28 between Harmar/I-76/Route 910 (Exit 11) and Russelton/Creighton (Exit 13) interchanges. Construction will include milling and resurfacing, concrete pavement preservation, bridge rehabilitation and preservation, guide rail and drainage improvements, ITS upgrades, highway lighting, traffic signals, ADA curb ramps installation, signing and pavement marking, and other miscellaneous operations. During much of construction, long-term single-lane restrictions will occur, along with an 11-day single-lane closure in each direction near the northern limits of the project. Work is expected to conclude between the end of 2023 and early 2024.
