Expect single-lane closures in Monroeville, Wilmerding
The Allegheny County Department of Public Works announces periodic single-lane closures on Wilmerding and Monroeville Road/Patton Street in Monroeville and Wilmerding.
The restrictions will occur between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. beginning July 18 on weekdays between Monroeville Boulevard and Jefferson Street, and they are expected to end in November. They are required for milling and paving, drainage improvements, shoulder work, and guide rail replacement.
Drivers can expect to experience short stoppages at work zones, and flaggers will be used to control traffic. The work is being done by A. Folino Construction Inc. of Oakmont as part the county’s $7.3 million 2022 capital roads contract.
Later this year, as part of the same project, Wilmerding and Monroeville Road/Patton Street will be fully closed between Monroeville Boulevard and Tri-Boro Expressway (Route 130) for drainage pipe installation.
Traffic will be detoured using Tri-Boro Expressway, Brown Avenue, Beulah Road, Churchill Road, William Penn Highway, Stroschein Road and Monroeville Boulevard. Residents at all times will have access to the homes and businesses within the closure area.
The start date for the full closure has yet to be determined.
