A long-term crossover on eastbound Interstate 376 in Findlay and Moon townships, Allegheny County, will begin Friday night, weather permitting.

Roadway reconstruction work on mainline I-376 in the eastbound direction will begin at 8 p.m. Friday. To accommodate this work, there will be traffic reconfigurations and restrictions.

The left-hand lane of eastbound I-376 will be crossed over into the westbound lanes. This lane is the express lane. All traffic using this lane will not have access to any exits in the work zone, including the eastbound Business Loop 376/Moon, Clinton, and Airport/East PA Turnpike 576 interchanges. Eastbound traffic will be crossed back over near the McClaren Road interchange.

The right-hand lane of eastbound I-376 will be shifted to the far right shoulder. This lane is the local lane. All access to exits must be made from the local lane.

Any vehicle wider than 11 feet must use the express lane. Any vehicle wider than 12 feet 6 inches will not be permitted in either lane.

Two lanes of traffic will be maintained on westbound I-376. A barrier will separate the westbound lanes and the crossed-over eastbound lane.

Emergency pull-off areas will be in various locations throughout the work zone.

To prepare for the crossover, single-lane traffic on westbound I-376 will be implemented at 8 p.m. Friday. Crews will conduct barrier installation and line painting. When the work is complete, the new configuration will be implemented. It is expected to occur after 8 p.m. Saturday.

The westbound crossover will remain in place until early October.

This work is part of the $66.34 million I-376 roadway reconstruction improvement project. Overall work includes concrete reconstruction and rehabilitation, joint repairs, bridge deck overlays, and guardrail and drainage improvements on 7.5 miles of I-376. The project is expected to conclude in late November.
