You can still get there from here, but it might take a while

More road projects enter different phases this week. Here’s the rundown:

• East Pittsburgh – The parking lane on Center Street will be closed for about two weeks beginning 7 a.m. Monday between Main Street and Grandview Avenue so crews can replace the brick roadway and make other improvements. The $2.29 million project will include laying asphalt to replace the bricks, repair concrete curbs and updating curb ramps. Work, which is expected to be done by the end of the year, will include periodic parking and lane restrictions as well as short- and long-term closures with detours.
• Parkway West 1 – The ramps from the Parkway West to Interstate 79 north in Robinson will be closed from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. Monday through April 11 to allow crews to do joint sealing, line painting and rumble strip installation work. Southbound ramps toward Washington, Pennsylvania, will remain open. The recommended detour has traffic take I-79 south to the next exit at Carnegie, then get back on heading north. Also, there will be weeknight single-line restrictions on Steubenville Pike from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. beginning Monday through mid-May. Crews will be sealing joints and curbs, repairing guide rails and performing other work between Lorish Road and Old Steubenville Pike. The work is part of a $15 million highway restoration project from the I-376 Airport/Pittsburgh interchange to about a half-mile north of the Route 60 Moon Run/Crafton interchange that should finish in late spring.
• Parkway West 2 – Single-lane restrictions will occur from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. beginning Monday in Rosslyn Farms, Collier and Robinson for concrete shoulder patching, concrete bridge barrier repairs, drainage improvements and sign structure work through mid-June. The restrictions will be between the Rosslyn Farms and Route 60 Crafton interchanges. Additionally, shoulders on the ramps from eastbound Parkway West to southbound I-79 and from southbound I-79 to eastbound Parkway West will close from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. on weeknights for drainage work. The work, which includes rehabilitation of the bridge over Boyce Road, is part of a $12.6 million project to mill and pave the highway and preserve the ramps between Ridge Road and I-79. Most of the work should be done by the end of the year.
• Bridge washing – Three bridges will have single-lane restrictions this week while crews wash off the winter muck. Gill Hall Road Bridge over Peters Creek will be restricted from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday and Tuesday. Washing will take place on the Veterans Bridge on Interstate 576 in Pittsburgh from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday. And the West End Bridge over the Ohio River in Pittsburgh will get its spring cleaning from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Green Acres Contracting has a contract with the state Department of Transportation for the work, which will depend on the weather.
• Dravosburg – Southbound traffic will be limited to one lane on Pittsburgh-McKeesport Boulevard and Richland Avenue beginning Tuesday from Bettis Road to Sixth Street from Tuesday until August. Crews will build a construction entrance in that area for work on the Mon-Fayette Expressway, the new toll road being built by the Pennsylvania Turnpike between Jefferson Hills and Duquesne.
• Parkway East – There will be shoulder restrictions this week on the Parkway East from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday while crews install wiring and other components for electric signs between the Edgewood/Swissvale interchange and the Squirrel Hill Tunnel. The work will happen in both directions but not at the same time. The work is part of the $95 million project to replace the Commercial Street Bridge that carries the Parkway East above Frick Park near the tunnel.
