River Road will remain closed through late June as workers complete a sewer line project, a spokesman has announced.
A state-maintained route, the road connects the city's lower 10th Ward with Port Vue and carries about 1,100 vehicles daily. The road was closed in December and was to reopen June 1.
Crews from Independence Excavating, Inc., under a contract with the Municipal Authority of the City of McKeesport, are performing work as part of a sanitary sewer project, said Jim Struzzi, district spokesman for the state Department of Transportation.
The closure is between Rebecca Street and the 15th Avenue Bridge. The roadway is open for local traffic and emergency vehicles only.
The posted detour uses Walnut Street and the Jerome Avenue and 15th Avenue bridges.
