Parkway ramps closing tonight, tomorrow in Downtown Pittsburgh

Written by Jon Schmitz on .

PennDOT has just released some new information about closures in the Downtown ramps project, starting tonight:

The westbound Parkway East off-ramp to Stanwix Street will close from 10 p.m. today (Wednesday) to 5 a.m. Thursday. The on-ramp from Grant Street to the westbound parkway will close from 10 p.m. Thursday to 5 a.m. Friday.

The end is in sight for the eternal Thompson Run Road bridge project in Ross. Starting today through May 24, there will be alternating one-way traffic on Thompson Run from McIntyre Road to just south of Amity Road, with police directing traffic, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily. The project is now scheduled for completion by the end of the month.

PennDOT has closed the ramp from southbound Beaver Avenue to southbound California Avenue through June 30 as part of the Marshall Avenue interchange project.

Route 28 inbound will have single-lane traffic from the Millvale interchange to the area of the former Millvale Industrial Park south of the 40th Street Bridge from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. today (Wednesday) and Thursday. In addition, traffic may be stopped up to 15 minutes at a time on the northbound side at the same location from 8 p.m. tonight (Wednesday) to 5 a.m. Thursday.

PennDOT also advises that installation of pavement markings will occur from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily through May 21 at these locations:

Route 65 between the McKees Rocks and Sewickley bridges; Washington Boulevard from Frankstown Avenue to Negley Run Boulevard; Route 22 from the Washington County line to Interstate 376 in Findlay and North Fayette; the Parkway East from Business Route 22 to the Westmoreland County line; and Route 837 from the Washington County line to Route 51. This work could cause slow-moving lane restrictions.

Inspection of the bridge carrying Bakerstown Road over railroad tracks between Valencia Road and Grubbs Road in Richland may cause alternating one-way traffic today until 3 p.m.
