Route 28 ramp closure in Frazer planned for Wednesday

A ramp closure on northbound Route 28 in Frazer Township is planned for Wednesday, weather permitting.

PennDOT officials said it is scheduled for 3 a.m. to 3 p.m. for concrete patching on the Pittsburgh Mills Boulevard on-ramp (Exit 12A). Ramp traffic will be detoured.

The detour is as follows:

• Take Pittsburgh Mills Boulevard westbound

• Turn left onto the ramp to southbound Route 28

• Take Exit 12 towards Cheswick/Springdale

• Turn left onto Hite Road

• Turn left onto the ramp to northbound Route 28

PennDOT officials said the work is part of the $27.68 million highway restoration project on Route 28 between Harmar/I-76/Route 910 (Exit 11) and Russelton/Creighton (Exit 13) interchanges.

Construction includes milling and resurfacing, concrete pavement preservation, bridge rehabilitation and preservation, guide rail and drainage improvements, highway lighting, traffic signals, ADA curb ramps installation, signing and pavement marking, and other upgrades.

During much of construction, long-term single-lane restrictions will occur, along with an 11-day single-lane closure in each direction near the northern limits of the project. Work is expected to conclude between the end of 2023 and early 2024.
