Crosstown Boulevard
The ramps from southbound I-579 to the southbound (outbound) Liberty Bridge will be closed beginning Friday 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. Monday. 

In addition, southbound I-579 will be reduced to a single lane in the ramp area and the northbound I-579 off-ramp to 7th Avenue will be closed, PennDOT announced. 

The closures are necessary so crews will apply a latex concrete overlay on the ramp from I-579 to the southbound Liberty Bridge, and replace expansion dams and conduct steel repairs on the ramp from northbound I-579 to 7th Avenue.
