PennDOT Will Restrict Route 79 Southbound To One Lane

PennDOT District 12 would like to advise motorists that there will be a single lane restriction on a section of southbound Interstate 79 between Waynesburg and Kirby in Greene County starting on Saturday, Oct. 25.

This restriction, along with a current single lane restriction on Interstate 79 northbound, will allow crews better access to perform construction work necessary to repair a slide in the embankment. Traffic patterns will be changing in this area as the work progresses.
