The new ramps are expected to increase traffic flow in the area.
Motorists on Route 228 will be viewing lots of orange cones in the area—at least for the next two years. Work began this week on new northbound and southbound on-ramps leading from Route 228 to Interstate 79 that should alleviate traffic in the area. The $14.78 PennDOT project will eliminate two turning movements from Route 228 to I-79, improving access for motorists. The project involves the construction of a new northbound on-ramp, a new southbound loop ramp and the reconstruction of the southbound off-ramp at the interchange of I-79 and Route 228. Currently, westbound drivers on Route 228 who want to get on I-79 must turn left across oncoming traffic to get onto the interstate’s onramps. While they’re making those lefts, the through …

After years of traffic congestion—first from a too-narrow road and then from construction—Route 19 is close to completion.
UPDATE: The opening of all five lanes in the Wexford Flats area of Route 19 has been delayed ... but only by one day.

Work to remove long-term traffic restrictions and apply final lane and pavement markings will begin at 6 p.m. Tuesday (…

One of Cranberry’s busiest corridors is about to undergo construction. On Monday, PennDOT will begin a $1.52 million project to widen Freedom Road from Haine School Road to Haldeman Drive. Construction will take place between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. each evening. Traffic work during the night will have alternating single-lanes controlled by flaggers. The traffic then will be shifted to the widened areas to allow for remaining widening and median construction.

No weekend restrictions are planned for Warrendale-Bayne Road.
If you plan to travel I-79 this weekend, listen up. Earlier this week, we reported that traffic on I-79 will be funneled down to one lane in Marshall Township, in the area of the bridges over Mingo Road. (Click here for that story.)
