Motorist exiting the Pennsylvania Turnpike’s Pittsburgh Interchange (EXIT 57) at Monroeville should be aware of a potential for travel time delays due to PENNDOT roadway work between Monroeville and the Churchill Exit (#10) on I-376 Westbound.

During peak travel times motorist exiting the Turnpike at Pittsburgh Interchange (EXIT 57) may experience delays.

Variable message boards will alert mainline traffic of delays. Information on traffic conditions in the area can be obtained by calling The 24-HOUR TRIPLINE 1-866-976-TRIP(8747), by tuning to 1640 AM on your car radio, or by visiting the Turnpike’s website at www.paturnpike.com.
