A contractor on Thursday will begin the long-awaited reconstruction of West Fifth Avenue in the 10th Ward.
But the first phase will include only a short stretch of road between the Jerome Avenue Bridge and Rebecca Street.
Jim Struzzi, district spokesman for the state Department of Transportation, said in a release Tuesday that crews from A. Folino Construction of Oakmont will begin removing the old pavement at 8 p.m. Thursday.
Traffic will be restricted to a single lane in each direction during the construction project. Most of the work on West Fifth will be done at night through May 13 to minimize traffic disruptions, Struzzi said. "Some minor traffic signal" work also will occur.
The construction that begins this week covers only the short section of West Fifth Avenue --- about 600 feet --- owned by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
The remaining portion of West Fifth, between Rebecca Street and Ramp Two, is owned by the city and is being repaved under a separate contract awarded last month to Donegal Construction.
City Administrator Dennis Pittman told the Almanac that local and state officials will meet with the contractor on Monday to discuss the scope of the reconstruction project, which will finally remove from the pavement the streetcar tracks that have remained unused since 1963.
If all necessary approvals are received and the weather cooperates, Pittman said, work on the remainder of West Fifth could begin by the end of the month.
