Uniontown, PA – Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) District 12 is announcing scheduled daily short-term single-lane restrictions with flagging, width restrictions, and lane shifts on Route 88 (Eighty-Eight Road) between Sigsbee Road and Fifth Street in Monongahela Township, Greene County, that began Monday, March 30 will remain in place until the end of October.
Crews from The Beaver Excavating Company, Inc. are replacing the bridge that carries Route 88 over Whitely Creek – an infrastructure investment of $5.5 million.
Half of the existing bridge was demolished and replaced in 2025, with work on the remaining portion scheduled for 2026. Crews will complete demolition of the existing structure and construct the final section of the new bridge. The new bridge is being built slightly north of the current structure, with its centerline shifted approximately 18 feet from the original alignment.
With flagging operations in effect, motorists should plan for extra travel time and drive cautiously through the work zone. Remain alert and follow the posted signs and speed limits. Safety is everyone’s responsibility.
