PennDOT has changed the schedule for work on the bridge carrying Route 51 over Interstate 70.
Full overnight closures of westbound I-70 between Exit 46A (towards Uniontown) and Exit 46B (towards Pittsburgh) in Rostraver Township had been slated for Tuesday night and Wednesday night, but PennDOT District 12 has announced a change.
A full overnight closure of westbound I-70 was still slated to occur between the Exit 46A and Exit 46B interchanges last night, weather permitting. There is also a full overnight closure slated for 9 p.m. tonight to 4 a.m. Friday.
