Pittsburgh, PA – PennDOT District 11 is
announcing daylight restrictions at an intersection at the southern end of the
East Rochester-Monaca Bridge in Monaca Borough, Beaver County will begin on
Monday, May 6 weather permitting.
Lane closures will
occur at the intersection of Seventeenth Street (Route 51) and Pennsylvania
Avenue (Route 4044) weekdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. through mid-June to allow
crews to install temporary signals at the intersection. The restrictions could
be lifted earlier if work is completed sooner.
Flaggers will assist
motorists through the work zone.
This work is in
preparation for the 67-day closure and detour of the Rochester-Monaca Bridge.
This $6.69 million
project includes bridge preservation work on the Rochester-Monaca Bridge
between Atlantic Avenue in Monaca Borough and Pleasant Street in Rochester
Borough. Preservation work includes expansion joint replacement, zone painting,
concrete deck overlay, downspout repair and replacement, steel and concrete
repairs, as well as sidewalk, deck, barrier, and fence repairs, pavement
marking upgrades, and other miscellaneous construction activities. Motorists
will see a full 67-day closure and detour of the bridge via the Monaca-East
Rochester Bridge between June and August 2024. Bicycle and pedestrian access
will be maintained during construction. This project is expected to be
completed in late 2024.
