Crews will be patching and sealing cracks on Dravosburg Hill and Mifflin Road, beginning Wednesday, June 12, weather permitting.
A district spokesman for the state Department of Transportation said the work will include portions of Pittsburgh-McKeesport Boulevard (Richland Avenue) and Mifflin Road in Dravosburg, West Mifflin and the city of Pittsburgh, between the Mansfield Bridge and Route 885.
Short-term lane closures will occur in both directions from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. through Friday.
Crack and joint sealing is a preservation activity that prolongs the life of road surfaces by preventing moisture from entering cracks and joints, spokesman Jim Struzzi said. Moisture can cause potholes and premature deterioration requiring more costly repairs.
Matcon Diamond, Inc. of Pittsburgh will perform the work.
