PITTSBURGH — The HOV lanes on Interstate 279 and 579 in Ross Township and the City of Pittsburgh have reopened after they were closed due to winter weather.

The closure allowed crews to focus on treating the main snow routes with incoming winter weather, PennDOT said.

Originally, the HOV lanes were scheduled to close at 10:30 p.m. Monday. However, PennDOT gave an update around 6:45 p.m. saying that the lanes were closed.

The lanes will remain closed through Tuesday afternoon as crews continued treating roadways.

The HOV lanes were reopened Wednesday morning.
