Long-term lane restrictions will begin Monday on the Highland Park Bridge in Sharpsburg, PennDOT officials said this weekend.
Officials plan to restrict northbound traffic, weather permitting, beginning at 7 a.m. Monday morning.
The left-hand lane from the Highland Park Bridge/Freeport Road interchange to Route 28 will close Monday to traffic around-the-clock through late August.
Crews will be conducting bridge reconstruction, drainage improvement, roadway reconstruction, highway lighting and traffic signal work.
PennDOT officials plan to leave all ramps open at this time.
Work on the bridge is part of the $47.31 million Route 28 Highland Park Interchange Project. It includes reconstruction of Route 28 between North Canal Street/Kittanning Pike, the reestablishment of two travel lanes on Route 28 in each direction through the interchange, and construction of improved ramps.
Also included in the project is the reconstruction of the Route 28 ramps with the Highland Park Bridge and Freeport Road, bridge/wall preservation work, bridge and roadway widening, sound barriers, and miscellaneous operational and safety improvements, officials said.
