Beginning at approximately 6 a.m. tomorrow, the ramp closures will remain in effect around-the-clock through 11:59 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 15.

The closures are part of a $28.16 million betterment project stretching between Broughton Road in South Park Township and Ceco Drive in West Mifflin Borough.

Planned improvements along the corridor include road widening, milling and paving, concrete patching, drainage improvements, signal upgrades and guide rail updates.

According to PennDOT, the work is being conducted in phases and will require short-term and long-term lane closures, weekend lane restrictions and a short-term ramp detour at the Route 51 interchange. PennDOT also updated the detour for the Green Drive left-turn to Curry Hollow Road.

PennDOT anticipates the overall project will be completed in the summer of 2027.
