Shoulder and lane restrictions will be in place on two West Hills area arteries in the coming days, PennDOT District 11 announced Friday.
Shoulder restrictions on Steubenville Pike – also known as Route 60 — will begin Monday, Feb. 10, weather permitting, PennDOT District 11 said Friday.
Shoulder restrictions will occur from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each weekday through Friday, Feb. 14, between Lorish Road and Old Steubenville Pike to allow crews to conduct tree trimming work.
Shoulder restrictions could be lifted earlier if the work is completed sooner.
In addition, overnight lane restrictions on the McKees Rocks Bridge are scheduled to occur Monday and Tuesday night, Feb. 10-11, weather permitting.
Overnight single-lane alternating traffic near the center of the McKees Rocks Bridge and short-term intermittent traffic stoppages of 15 minutes or less will occur as needed from 7 p.m. until 6 a.m. Monday and Tuesday night. Crews will remove the median barrier and replace it with channelizers in preparation for the next phase of work. Flaggers will assist motorists through the work zone.
The $38.6 million McKees Rocks Bridge preservation project extends between Route 51 (Island Avenue) and Route 65 (Ohio River Boulevard) and includes sidewalk replacement, sidewalk support steel repairs, sidewalk railing painting, full-depth concrete pavement reconstruction of the road and two ramps at Helen Street, ADA curb ramp installation, approach pavement work at intersections of Routes 65 and 51, barrier replacement and upgrade, deck overhang and spall repair, railroad fencing installation, and other miscellaneous construction.
As work occurs, traffic will be reduced to a single lane in each direction. The overall project is anticipated to conclude in the fall of 2025.
