    Route 4038 Washington Run Bridge Work Scheduled in Fayette County

    June 05, 2026

    Work is part of the Layton Bridge Replacement Project

    Uniontown, PA—Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) District 12 is announcing a portion of Route 4038 (Layton Road) at the Washinton Run Bridge in Perry Township, Fayette County, is scheduled to close beginning Monday, June 15 at 7:00 AM.

    The Layton Road closure will remain in place until Monday, June 29.

    Local access to Falbo Road will be maintained from the Perryopolis side of the closure.

    During the Layton Road closure, Route 1002 (Banning Road), which is currently closed for a railroad project, will be temporarily reopened to traffic. Drivers should expect a single-lane traffic pattern controlled by alternating stop signs.

    Once Layton Road reopens on Monday, June 29, Route 1002 (Banning Road) will close again to traffic around the clock and is anticipated to remain closed until mid-August.

    All other traffic will follow the posted detour:

    • Route 4038 (Independence Street) 
    • Route 4017 (Liberty Street/Cemetery Road) 
    • Route 201 (Flatwoods Road/Main Street) 
    • Route 1010 (Dickerson Run Road/Front Street) 
    • Route 819 (Dawson Road/Main Street/Second Street) 
    • Route 1041 (River Road/School Road) 
    • Route 1002 (Banning Road) 
    • Route 4038 (Layton Road)

    During the closure, crews from Joseph B. Fay Co. will install temporary shoring needed for the construction of the new Washington Run Bridge.

    All work depends on weather and operations.

    Drivers should exercise caution while traveling through work zones and be alert for workers. Safety is everyone’s responsibility.

    The project involves replacing the 17-span Layton Bridge over the Youghiogheny River and includes additional bridge, roadway, and safety improvements along Layton Road (Route 4038) between Route 51 and the town of Layton.
