TRAFFIC ADVISORY: Weather
permitting, traffic on the Pennsylvania Turnpike (Interstate 76) will be
stopped periodically between 8 am and 2 pm Tuesday, Dec. 4 near Milepost 7.2
in Lawrence County so that crews can remove steel girders from an overhead
bridge that will be replaced. It
is expected that four stoppages, two for westbound traffic and two for
eastbound traffic, will be required. Work on the westbound side will precede
work on the eastbound side. Stoppages are not to exceed 30 minutes.
Single-lane
restrictions also will be put into effect as needed,
starting at about 5:30 am for westbound traffic, to allow workers to
position the crane that will be used to remove the girders. The
construction site is in New Beaver Borough, where Pa. Route 168 crosses over
the Turnpike. Route 168 has been closed there since October 11 and will
remain closed until late June 2002. The bridge replacement project is contracted to M.A. Beech Corporation of Carnegie, PA in the amount of $2.6 million. It is the initial phase of an extensive reconstruction and widening of Interstate 76 between the Gateway toll barrier and Milepost 10. |
