Reminder to Motorists
Reminder to motorists:
the first of eight possible weekend closures of the
westbound (inbound) Squirrel Hill Tunnel on the Parkway
East (I-376) occurred August 3-6.
Closures
will occur from 9 p.m. on Friday through 5 a.m. on
Monday. Signs will be posted to guide motorists.
The posted detour will require westbound traffic to form
a single lane exiting at the Edgewood Swissvale
interchange (Exit 77). PennDOT reminds motorists
to use all open lanes to the merge point.
Please be courteous to other motorists and allow them to
merge. The effectiveness of traffic flow entering
the detour route is highly dependent on driver behavior.
The outbound (eastbound) tunnel will remain open,
although short-term traffic stoppages may occur for
equipment access and material removal.
Please visit the
PennDOT created website to access travel times on the
detour routes and to plan trips accordingly. The
