On Monday, Aug. 31 at 7 a.m., a
portion of Old State Road between Whippoorwill Hill Road and Fox Hollow
Lane in Pine Township, Allegheny County, will be closed to allow for
the replacement of a PA Turnpike bridge. The closure will be in effect
until mid summer, 2012.
Traffic will be directed to a 3-mile,
PennDOT-approved, detour via State Route 910 (Gibsonia Road), State
Route 4031 (Babcock Boulevard) and State Route 4068
(Bakerstown-Warrendale Road). Detour signs will be posted, and drivers
can anticipate an additional 10 minutes to navigate the detour.
The bridge carrying the PA Turnpike
over Old State Road will be removed and replaced with a new, concrete
I-beam structure, and a portion of Old State Road will be realigned and
reconstructed as part of the Turnpike’s total reconstruction project
between mileposts 31 and 38. Due to the realignment of Old State Road
and three-stage construction of the structure, Old State Road must
remain closed while the Turnpike is reconstructed over this structure.
