Work resumes Friday morning on a $5.6 million project to replace a bridge on Curry Hollow Road in Pleasant Hills, said a district spokesman for the state Department of Transportation.
Weather permitting, crews will restrict the road to a single, 10-foot-lane in each direction between Jefferson Memorial Cemetery and the Route 51 cloverleaf, said Jim Struzzi of PennDOT District 11.
Restrictions will remain in place around-the clock through mid-November, he said.
Crews are replacing an existing three-span I-beam bridge that carries Curry Hollow Road over railroad tracks and a small valley just past the Sheetz store. The project, started in early 2012, includes widening the road, adding a turning lane, replacing traffic signals and eventually repaving Curry Hollow from Route 51 to Brownsville Road.
Overall work will conclude in late fall 2013, Struzzi said. The prime contractor is Carmen Paliotta Contracting Inc. of South Park Twp.
