Category: Announcements || By Submitted Report




Work resumes Thursday night (June 6) to repave Walnut Street in the city and Versaiiles, a PennDOT spokesman said.

Jim Struzzi, district spokesman for the state Department of Transportation, said work will include milling and resurfacing, drainage improvements and pavement markings.

Walnut Street, which carries Route 48, is a state-maintained road.

To allow the work to occur, single lane alternating traffic will occur daily from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. through Wednesday, July 3. Work will occur from the Boston Bridge to Route 148, Struzzi said.

Flag crews will assist traffic moving through the work areas, but delays should be expected.

The project is included in a $1.6 million contract for improvements on several roadways in Allegheny County. Tresco Paving of Plum Borough is the main contractor, Struzzi said.
