Pittsburgh, PA – PennDOT District 11 is announcing a lane restriction on eastbound Route 3104 (McKees Rocks Bridge) in the City of Pittsburgh and McKees Rocks Borough, Allegheny County will occur Monday through Friday, August 11-15 weather permitting.
Flagging operations will occur in the eastbound direction on the McKees Rocks Bridge toward Route 65 as needed from 7 a.m. until 5 p.m. daily, Monday through Friday. Crews will conduct sealing and cleaning operations on one of the two eastbound lanes and sidewalk of the bridge. Westbound traffic will not be restricted.
Additionally, while work occurs, flaggers will guide all pedestrians on the eastbound sidewalk to utilize the westbound sidewalk.
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.
