Emergency Detour Routes For Limited Access Freeways February 20, 2002 Revised: August 2008 Revised: February 2011 (I-376 Re-Designation) Pennsylvania Department of Transportation Engineering District 11-0 Pittsburgh, PA Statement of Understanding The attached tables and charts summarize the recommended Emergency Detour Routes for all limited access freeways in Engineering District 11 (Allegheny, Beaver, and Lawrence Counties). These Routes have been prepared with the assumption that an event has occurred on a particular section of freeway of such a severe nature so as to mandate a total closure of the freeway in at least one direction. It must be stressed that in almost all cases the Emergency Detour Route will experience severe traffic congestion problems during most of the day with acute problems occurring in the morning and evening peak periods. Therefore, during any emergency, every effort must be made to solicit local and state police assistance and to reopen at least one lane of the freeway as soon as possible and to even consider constructing crossovers if the closure will be long term.
