Single-lane restrictions on Interstate 70 eastbound and westbound are scheduled for Monday and Tuesday in Rostraver Township.
PennDOT District 12 said restrictions will be in place on Exit 49 (Smithton) and Exits 46A/46B (Route 51) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day, weather permitting.
Crews from Geronimo Painting will work on the containment on the Matthew Smelser Memorial Bridge as part of the $120.6 million Interstate 70 Project involving the widening and reconstruction of the interstate along with the reconstruction of the Route 51 Interchange (Exit 46) to replace it with a Diverging Diamond Interchange.
To accommodate the new interchange, the plans include one mile of reconstruction and widening on Route 51 and several intersecting roadways, including the relocation of Finley Road and Route 981.
The project is anticipated to be complete in October 2027.
