Road Work on Route 837: A $1.1 million project to improve state Route 837 in Duquesne begins next Monday, weather permitting.

The city of Duquesne and the Urban Redevelopment Authority of Allegheny County are planning to widen the highway to add a northbound turning lane at Wylie Avenue. The drainage system and traffic signals also will be improved on a stretch of road between Camp Avenue and Center Street. Part of the road also will be repaved, a state spokesman said.

Beginning at 7 a.m. April 9, southbound traffic will be reduced to a single lane long-term through late July. As work progresses, northbound traffic will be restricted to single lane as well. Various traffic pattern changes, restrictions and shifts will occur during construction.

The prime contractor is Donegal Construction Corp. Overall work will conclude this summer.
