Liberty Tunnel Overnight Lane Closures Begin Tonight
Lane closures in the tunnels are due to cellular antenna and cable work, and will last throughout the month.
If you're heading back to Dormont and Brookline later tonight, you might run into delays at the Liberty Tunnel. Single-lane traffic will occur in the tunnel beginning tonight, Monday, Jan. 7.
PennDOT crews will be performing cellular antenna and cable work. Restrictions will occur as needed from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.
One lane will remain open in each direction at all times, but PennDOT advises drivers to use caution, allow extra time for travel and expect changing traffic patterns in the tunnel.
The schedule is as follows:
Monday through Friday nights, Jan. 7-11
- Outbound (southbound) restrictions
Monday through Friday nights, Jan. 14-18
- Inbound (northbound) restrictions
Monday night, Jan 21
- Inbound (northbound) restrictions
Tuesday night, Jan. 22
- Outbound (southbound) restrictions
Outbound restrictions will be coordinated to begin later on nights when there are events downtown.
