PennDOT's second phase of the Parkway reconstruction begins in 2007 with the $38 million overhaul of the highway from Oakland to Squirrel Hill.
The major work, including paving the Parkway to the Edgewood-Swissvale exit, should be completed in September 2007. At times, one direction of the roadway will be shut down while crews work on Parkway bridges and the ramps to and from the Parkway in the construction zones.
===Details===
As the project progresses, the time frames for various sections of work can be viewed at PennDOT's Web site.
The department recommends westbound (inbound) travelers exit the Parkway at or before the Wilkinsburg interchange and follow Route 8 (Penn Avenue) through Wilkinsburg and Point Breeze to Fifth Avenue. Then follow Fifth Avenue into Downtown.
To continue westbound, follow Ross Street to First Street and enter the Parkway from Grant Street, Downtown.
Motorists traveling from between Forest Hills and Swissvale should take Braddock Avenue to Penn Avenue. Then ride Fifth Avenue to Downtown, to Ross Street to First Street and Grant Street to pick up the Parkway westbound again.
From the Squirrel Hill interchange, westbound travelers should take Forward Avenue to Murray Avenue to Braddock Avenue to Penn to Fifth, to Ross to First and Grant to the Parkway West on-ramp.
