Pittsburgh, PA – PennDOT District 11 is announcing the reopening of the westbound ramp on Route 3014 (McKees Rocks Bridge) in McKees Rocks Borough, Allegheny County.

The westbound McKees Rocks Bridge off-ramp to Helen Street has reopened to traffic. Crews previously closed the ramp on July 24 to conduct pavement replacement operations.

The portion of the westbound pedestrian sidewalk between Helen Street and Route 51 (Island Avenue) will be open, however the previously closed section between Helen Street and Route 65 (Ohio River Boulevard) will remained closed.

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 2025.

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