Traffic Restrictions Needed on PA Turnpike 43


Traffic Restrictions Needed on PA Turnpike 43

Traffic paces planned Nov. 1 and 2 in Jefferson Hills Borough for construction activity.

 

The PA Turnpike Commission (PTC) wants to alert motorists traveling northbound on PA Turnpike 43 (Mon/Fayette Expressway) of possible traffic delays this week due to bridge beams being erected over Jefferson Boulevard in Jefferson Hills Borough, Allegheny County.

On Nov. 1 and 2, PTC maintenance vehicles will be pacing traffic between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. from milepost 46 to the exit at Jefferson Boulevard (Exit 54). Paces keep traffic moving slowly while construction crews work to place the bridge beams.

If needed, traffic will be stopped for approximately 15 minutes at a time for crews to safely erect the bridge beams.

Motorists are encouraged to plan travel accordingly. Work schedules are subject to change based on weather conditions.

This work is part of the PTC’s Mon/Fayette Expressway PA Route 51 to I-376 Project’s southern section. For more information about this project, visit the project website at: www.paturnpike.com/monfayette.
