Fort Pitt Tunnel lane restrictions to begin
There will be single lane closures in the inbound Fort Pitt Tunnel on the Parkway West (Interstate 376) starting Monday night and continuing nightly for the rest of the year.
A lane will be closed from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. each night. A similar closure on the outbound side is expected to start in March.
Crews from Mosites Construction will be doing work to remove ceiling tiles, concrete repairs, tunnel lighting and stand pipe installation.
Steve Cowan, spokesman for the state Department of Transportation, said this work could not be done until the scheduled work inside the tunnel this weekend is completed.
