A $5 million project to repair and improve Lysle Boulevard begins Monday, a spokesman for the state Department of Transportation said today.
Work --- which also encompasses part of East Fifth Avenue and the Jerome Avenue Bridge --- will include concrete patching and resurfacing, new traffic lights and curb cuts, and other improvements on a 1.7 mile stretch of road between Hartman Street and River Road, said Jim Struzzi, district spokesman for PennDOT.
The work will continue through the summer and fall, into November, Struzzi said.
A state-maintained road, Lysle Boulevard and East Fifth Avenue carry Route 148 between the McKeesport-Duquesne Bridge and Walnut Street. About 11,000 vehicles daily use that stretch of highway, and about 15,000 daily use the Jerome Avenue Bridge.
Beginning Monday, traffic between Walnut Street and River Road will be restricted to a single lane in each direction, Struzzi said. Short-term lane closures will occur during non-peak hours between the McKeesport-Duquesne Bridge and Hartman Street.
Traffic stoppages of 10 minutes of less will occasionally occur between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., or between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m., but one lane will generally remain open in each direction at all times.
Donegal Construction of Westmoreland County is the prime contractor for the project, Struzzi said.
