Drivers are being notified of some intermittent stoppages along a five-mile section of I-70 in Rostraver on Thursday as part of a revamp of the interchange with Route 51.
The Trib reports that rolling traffic stoppages are expected in both directions between the Arnold City and Smithton exits between 10 AM and Noon on Thursday. West Penn Power will be repairing a utility pole and transfer existing power lines during the stoppages. The interchange is being replaced by a diverging diamond design. About 2 miles of Interstate 70 will be widened, and an approximately 1-mile section of Route 51 also will see improvements, including re-routing Finley Road behind the GetGo gas station and convenience store to create a four-way intersection with Route 981.
The project will wrap up in 2027.
