PennDOT will again close the inbound Squirrel Hill Tunnel for construction this weekend. The
tunnel will be closed from 9 pm Friday to 5 am Monday and all
inbound traffic will be required to form a single lane and exit at
Edgewood-Swissvale. Long delays are expected along the detour route so PennDOT recommends that drivers consider using the Pennsylvania Turnpike
as an alternate route.
The $49.5 million rehabilitation project includes removal of the inbound tunnel ceiling, which will increase clearance by two feet. This will reduce the number of times over-height trucks must be stopped and turned around. PennDOT expects the inbound ceiling removal will be completed this weekend. Outbound traffic will not be restricted but there may be brief stoppages for equipment movement.
