While the Tarentum Bridge has reopened after a closure in June, ongoing work will require traffic restrictions that could cause backups and delays.

Restrictions are scheduled to resume Tuesday and continue through late September, PennDOT announced.

Traffic will be restricted to a single lane in each direction as needed between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. weekdays.

One lane of traffic will be maintained in each direction.

Crews will be working on lights and signs, as well as doing electrical work and minor concrete work, according to PennDOT.

The $3.24 million bridge rehabilitation project is expected to be finished in the fall.

The bridge had been closed to all traffic beginning on June 9. The lanes headed toward New Kensington reopened first, as scheduled, on June 13.

The lanes head toward Tarentum reopened on June 27. That side reopened a day earlier it had been rescheduled to, despite concerns that a single-car crash in the work zone on June 19 had been expected to delay the reopening.

Tarentum police on Thursday charged Allison Plusquellic, 39, of Lower Burrell with driving under the influence, criminal mischief and other traffic violations related to the crash.
