Uniontown, PA – PennDOT District 12 is advising motorists that portions of Route 356 and Route 4054 (La Belle Vue Road) in Allegheny Township, Westmoreland County are scheduled to close to traffic in both directions beginning Monday, July 24. The closures are anticipated to remain in place through the end of August, weather and operational dependent.

Route 356 will be closed from Park Road to Route 4048 (Melwood Road / Hyde Park Road).

Route 4054 (La Belle Vue Road) will be closed from Ashland Way to Route 356.
