PennDOT: I-79 Project Completed Before Schedule

The state Department of Transportation announced this week that a $15.2 million project on Interstate 79 has been completed about a month before expected.

According to a release, this concrete-patching project was completed during the evenings—8 p.m. to 6 am.—and only one direction of traffic was impacted at a time.

The project limits were from the Canonsburg exit on 79 to the Allegheny County line. 

Also included in this project were concrete repairs to South Pointe Boulevard and bituminous overlay.

The contractor on the project was Trumbull Corporation and the tentative completion date was to have been in September.
