Weekend restrictions planned on I-70

NEWS BRIEF

Weekend single-lane restrictions on Interstate 70 in Rostraver Township and North Belle Vernon will be in place this weekend, weather permitting.

Restrictions will continue

today through Monday nightly from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. in the eastbound lane between Exit 41 (Belle Vernon/ Monessen) and Exit 43 (Donora/Fayette City).

The restrictions are necessary to allow Golden Triangle Construction Company to complete concrete pavement patching, drainage repair and barrier replacement as part of a larger pavement preservation project on I-70 from the Wheeling & Lake Erie Railway to Route 906 (Belle Vernon Monessen Road/Main Street).

With an infrastructure investment of $9.69 million, work is expected to continue through late fall, pending weather and operational conditions.
