Pittsburgh, PA – PennDOT District 11 is announcing the restrictions implemented for intersection improvement work on Route 3104 (McKees Rocks Bridge) at the intersection with Route 65 in the City of Pittsburgh, Allegheny County have been lifted.
On Monday, March 31 the following restrictions were implemented to allow crews to conduct improvement work within the center lane of the McKees Rocks Bridge:
- McKees Rocks Bridge to northbound Route 65 and Brighton Heights Boulevard will be closed to traffic. All traffic from the bridge must turn right onto Route 65 (Ohio River Boulevard) in the southbound direction
- Access to the McKees Rocks Bridge from Northbound Route 65 will be prohibited
- Access to the McKees Rocks Bridge from Brighton Heights Boulevard will be prohibited
These restrictions have been lifted and all movements at the intersection have been returned to normal operations.
The long-term lane restriction on the McKees Rocks Bridge remains in place through early June.
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.
