Construction to limit traffic along Homestead Grays Bridge
Motorists who use the Homestead Grays Bridge should allow extra travel time when the span goes under construction at the beginning of May.
The inner southbound lane of the bridge is scheduled to close from 6 a.m. May 7 to 6 a.m. May 9.
During the closure, crews will work to repair the deck of the 85-year-old bridge.
Cost of the project is nearly $45,000, with work being done by Pittsburgh-based Pugliano Construction.
The Homestead Grays Bridge is a high-level steel bridge spanning the Monongahela River, connecting Squirrel Hill and Homestead. It is about 3,100 feet long and carries four lanes of traffic.
Southbound lanes (from Pittsburgh to Homestead) will be limited to one lane, according to Brent Wasko, from the Allegheny County Department of Public Works.
Northbound traffic out of Homestead will not be impacted.
