Category: Announcements || By Submitted Report

Route 837 in Dravosburg will be closed next week while a railroad crossing is replaced.

Weather-permitting, the crossing on the Norfolk Southern Railroad will be rebuilt next Monday and Tuesday, said Jim Struzzi, district spokesman for the state Department of Transportation. The work is not being done by PennDOT, but the agency is announcing the closing as a public service.

The crossing is near the Kinder Morgan (formerly Boswell Oil Co.) terminal on Route 837.

Route 837 will be closed in both directions beginning at 9 a.m. Monday through 6 p.m. Tuesday. About 12,000 vehicles use the crossing on an average day.

The posted detours will use the Lysle Boulevard and the Mansfield and McKeesport-Duquesne bridges.
