Inbound Liberty Tunnel overnight closures rescheduled

PITTSBURGH — UPDATE: PennDOT said work planned for Wednesday and Thursday has been postponed.

Rescheduled dates have not yet been announced.

______________________

The inbound lanes of the Liberty Tunnel will be closed overnight for several days this week, weather permitting.

PennDOT officials say the closures will take place from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. from June 17-19. The closure is so crews can load and remove material for a roof replacement project.

During the closure, drivers should take the following detour:

• Take Route 51 (Saw Mill Run Boulevard) northbound
• Take the left exit to I-376 West/US 19 South toward Carnegie/Airport/West End
• Take Exit 69A toward US 19 South/Banksville Road
• Keep left (towards South Truck 19/51) and loop back to I-376 eastbound toward Fort Pitt Tunnel
• Follow eastbound I-376 through Fort Pitt Tunnel and across the Fort Pitt Bridge
• For access to I-279 destinations follow I-279 signage, all other destinations take exit toward I-376 East/Monroeville
• Take the left exit 71A to Grant Street
• Turn left onto Grant Street
• End detour

This roof replacement project is expected to be completed in the fall. During construction, one side of the tunnel will always remain open overnight.
