Traffic in the inbound Squirrel Hill Tunnel will be reduced to a single lane starting at 10 p.m. Sunday through Wednesday for maintenance. The restriction will be lifted by 5 a.m.

Installation of cable median wire and guard rail will continue on Interstate 79 in the Wexford-Cranberry area next week, with intermittent lane closures on this schedule: northbound, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. between Exits 72-73 (I-279 and Wexford) and from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. between Exits 73-76 (Wexford and Cranberry/Route 19); southbound, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. between Exits 78-73 (Cranberry/PA Turnpike and Wexford). No work will occur next Friday and southbound restrictions will end by 5 p.m. Wednesday so as not to impede traffic headed for the Penguins game.

PennDOT District 12, which includes Washington County, is planning to correct a jarring stretch of I-79 northbound between Houston and Canonsburg, where concrete slabs in the right lane have become uneven. Single-lane closures will occur from 9 a.m. until dark Monday and Tuesday.

PennDOT District 11 is will hold an open house for Phase IV of the Liberty Tunnels rehabilitation from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday at Seton Center, 1900 Pioneer Ave., Brookline. The purpose of the meeting is to present project plans, details and schedule information. Plans will be on display and input and feedback from attendees will be accepted. The proposed project, scheduled for construction to begin in early 2013, includes rehabilitating the tunnel portal facades; arched portal walls; arched reinforcing beams at the tunnel entrances; back walls; concrete replacement; ventilation and other improvements.
