Route 28 Northbound Closed and Reopened for Safety Precaution Due to Falling Debris

A lane restriction was implemented on Route 28 Northbound after ballast (stones beneath the tracks) fell onto the road, leading to a full closure. The closure was in effect from Exit 11 in Harmar to Exit 12, Cheswick/Springdale. Southbound traffic was not affected, and officials have confirmed that the bridge is structurally safe. PennDOT has taken measures to prevent further stone falling by adding shoring and pressure-treated shielding to the bridge.
