Parkway East work will close part of Monroeville bridge through mid-summer
A traffic crossover in Monroeville will start March 22 as work begins to demolish and replace the bridge carrying I-376 over Old William Penn Highway in Monroeville.
Eastbound I-376 traffic will be routed to the westbound lanes, with prep work starting at 9 p.m. Friday night. The Parkway East will be reduced to single lane between the Penn Hills and Monroeville exits as work crews install barriers and new striping for the crossover.
Two of the eastbound lanes will be crossed over, and the crossover is expected to remain in place until mid-July. At that time, the westbound lanes will be crossed over to allow for work on that side of the bridge.
The work is part of the $70 million Parkway East Betterment Project that includes superstructure replacement, two bridge rehabilitations and six bridge preservation projects.
The work is expected to be complete in the fall of 2026.
