Pittsburgh, PA – PennDOT District 11 is announcing lane closures on Route 65 toward Route 3104 (McKees Rocks Bridge) in the City of Pittsburgh, Allegheny County will occur Monday and Tuesday night, June 3-4 weather permitting.
The left turning lane from northbound Route 65 to the McKees Rocks Bridge will close to traffic nightly from 7 p.m. until 5 a.m. on Monday and Tuesday. Additionally, during the same time, a single-lane closure will occur on southbound Route 65 at the intersection of the McKees Rocks Bridge. Traffic will still be able to turn onto the bridge from either direction on Route 65. Crews will perform work to remove mountable curb at the intersection for a future phase of the project.
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.
The Brayman Construction Corporation and Advantage Steel and Construction, LLC are the prime contractor.
