November 9, 1999



TRAFFIC ADVISORY:
TRAFFIC RETURNING TO NORMAL CONFIGURATION
AT MONROEVILLE INTERCHANGE

Effective Wednesday, November 10, 1999, traffic restrictions will be removed on the ramp bridge at Pennsylvania Turnpike Exit 6 (Pittsburgh/Monroeville).

Traffic exiting the Turnpike for Interstate 376 West or Business Route 22 West will return to two full lanes after passing through toll collection.

Restrictions had been in place since May 11, 1999, due to a bridge replacement project. The previous span over Interstate 376 and U.S. Route 22 has been replaced with a new steel structure carrying three lanes of traffic, including one lane for Turnpike entry traffic.
