Lane crossover along Saw Mill Run Boulevard expected to last through late June
Starting Friday, motorists using Saw Mill Run Boulevard in Pittsburgh will encounter a traffic crossover that will be in place until late June, PennDOT announced.
Northbound traffic along Saw Mill Run, or Route 19, will be crossed over into the southbound lanes just north of the Shaler Street Bridge.
A single, 11-foot lane of traffic will be maintained in each direction of Route 19 in the southbound lanes. The crossover will allow crews to restore the concrete pavement in the northbound lanes.
The work is part of a $14.55 million Pennsylvania Department of Transportation improvement project that includes replacement of the Shaler Street Bridge, replacement of the median barrier, lengthening of the Wabash Street deceleration ramp, replacement of sign structures and reconstruction of ramps.
