Route 3014 McKees Rocks Bridge Short-term Closure Wednesday in McKees Rocks

02/07/2023

Pittsburgh, PA – PennDOT District 11 is announcing a short-term closure on Route 3014 (McKees Rocks Bridge) in McKees Rocks Borough, Allegheny County, will occur Wednesday afternoon, February 8 weather permitting.

The McKees Rocks Bridge will close to traffic in each direction between 12 p.m. and 3 p.m. Wednesday as crews perform pavement marking operations. Traffic will be detoured via the West End Bridge.

Phase 2 of the $22.4 million McKees Rocks Bridge preservation project extends between Route 51 (Island Avenue) and Route 65 (Ohio River Boulevard) and includes sidewalk repairs and replacement, full-depth concrete pavement reconstruction of the road and four ramps at Helen Street, ADA curb ramp installation, approach pavement work at intersections of Routes 65 and 51, barrier repair, deck overhang and spall repair, fencing installation, and other miscellaneous construction. As work occurs, traffic will be reduced to a single lane in each direction, with occasional truck and turning-lane detours occurring at the West End Bridge as needed. The overall project is anticipated to conclude in the fall of 2024.

The Brayman Construction Corporation and Advantage Steel and Construction, LLC are the prime contractor.
