Westbound Route 2048 William Penn Highway Lane Restrictions Begin Monday in Wilkins Township

Pittsburgh, PA – PennDOT District 11 is announcing lane restrictions on westbound Route 2048 (William Penn Highway/Business 22) in Wilkins Township, Allegheny County will begin Monday, June 12 weather permitting.

Single-lane restrictions will occur around-the-clock on westbound Business 22 between Penn Center Boulevard and Hawthorne Drive through Monday, July 10.  Crews will conduct drainage repair work.

Work on this $23.84 million William Penn Highway (Business Route 22) preservation and rehabilitation project began in March in Wilkins Township, Churchill Borough, and the Municipality of Monroeville between Huntingdon Drive and Mosside Boulevard. While crews conduct milling and resurfacing, base repairs, curbing, sidewalk, drainage, guide rail, signing, and pavement markings, motorists can expect single-lane closures. Later this year, motorists can expect a crossover implemented between Rodi Road and the Hall Station Bridge for preservation work. Additionally, in 2024 a full closure of the ramp to Monroeville Mall and detour is anticipated for rehabilitation work. Overall work will conclude in the fall of 2024.

Please use caution in the area.

Crews from Golden Triangle Construction will conduct the work.
