Uniontown–PennDOT has announced upcoming single-lane restrictions on Interstate 70. Roadwork in the eastbound lanes is scheduled for Monday, February 24 between Smithton and Route 51 in Rostraver Township. The daytime restrictions will be from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. All work depends on weather and operations. This work is part of the $120.6 million Interstate 70 Project involving the widening and reconstruction of the highway along with the reconstruction of the Route 51 Interchange to replace it with a Diverging Diamond Interchange. To accommodate the new interchange, the plans include one mile of reconstruction and widening on Route 51, and several intersecting roadways, including the relocation of Finley Road and Route 981. The project is anticipated to be complete in October 2027.
