The next phase of the Liberty Tunnel improvement project in Pittsburgh will resume Monday night, weather permitting.

A total of 96 overnight outbound tunnel closures will occur this year. Overnight closures will occur Monday through Friday from 8 p.m. through 5 a.m. each night as crews begin installation of electrical conduit and cables, work on safety and control systems, and install integrated equipment. Friday night work may extend until noon on Saturdays.

The $30.27 million final phase of work will include roadway pavement rehabilitation, the addition of safety and control systems, air monitoring upgrades, a fire containment system and CCTV installation. 

Additionally, 28 inbound closures will occur during this construction season. Two weekend closures may also occur in the tunnels.

Coordination between this project and the Liberty Bridge rehabilitation project is ongoing in an effort to minimize impacts to motorists.

Detours will be posted when necessary.
