Pittsburgh, PA – PennDOT District 11 is advising motorists work to install median cable guide rail on Route 28 (Allegheny Valley Expressway) between the Creighton (Exit 13) and Tarentum (Exit 14) interchanges in East Deer and Fawn townships and the borough of Tarentum, Allegheny County, will continue on Monday, July 7, 2008.
To allow the necessary work to occur, left lane closures will occur daily in both directions on Route 28 through Thursday, July 10, 2008. Traffic will not be restricted during peak periods northbound and southbound. Any necessary restrictions and lane closures will occur according to the following schedule:
Northbound (outbound):
· 6 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Southbound (inbound):
· 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The lane closures are necessary as crews install a high tension cable barrier system and guide rail in the median on Route 28 as a safety improvement to prevent crossover crashes.
The prime contractor for the $225,000 project is Green Acres Contracting Co. Inc. of Scottdale, PA. PennDOT advises motorists to slow down and use caution when traveling through the area. Work zone safety is everyone’s responsibility.
