(Allegheny County, PA) PennDOT announced the closure of the northbound I-79 to westbound I-376 (Parkway West) ramp in Robinson Township of Allegheny County will continue tonight, weather permitting. From 7 p.m. tonight through 6 a.m. tomorrow morning, the northbound I-79 ramp to westbound I-376 (Exit 59B) will close for joint cleaning and sealing of concrete pavement patches on the ramp and shoulder to be conducted by crews. According to a release from PennDOT District 11, here is where ramp traffic will be detoured.

Posted Detour

• Continue straight on northbound I-79 past the closed ramp
• Take the Route 60 Crafton/Moon Run (Exit 60) off-ramp
• Turn left onto Route 60 (Steubenville Pike)
• Take the ramp to I-79 South toward Washington
• From southbound I-79, take the ramp to West 376 toward Pittsburgh International Airport/Beaver (Exit 59B)
• End detour

The closure might be lifted sooner if the work is completed earlier, but drive cautious while this work occurs to be safe, which is the responsibility of everyone.
