Nearby: Pipe Installation on Broughton Road Sept. 17-21
Work will occur between Route 88 and Gerhold Street.
Crews from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation will perform pipe installation to improve drainage along a portion of Broughton Road in Bethel Park from Monday, Sept. 17, through Friday, Sept. 21, weather permitting.
The work will span Broughton from Gerhold Street to Route 88, according to a news release.
The pipe installtion is not expected to cause long-term delays. Nevertheless, PennDOT advises motorists to use caution, slow down and anticipate changing traffic patterns when traveling through the area.
Broughton Road is already seeing some PennDOT work, as a large project at the Broughton-Baptist Road intersection is necessitating the closure of eastbound Broughton from Paxton Drive to Sansue Drive through at least late November.
Westbound Broughton is still open in a single lane from Sansue to Paxton.

It will be great when they get Broughton/Baptist Road completed. Traffic is always a mess heading out to South Hills Village or Bethel Bakery.

jon our roads and bridges in Pennsylvania has nothing to do with obama or romney. it has to do with who is governor and where money is spent. We are a city of bridges and most are deficient and in badly needed repair. some of our bridges in pittsburgh are on the verge of collapsing but thousands of cars go over them every day. rendall didn't care about the roads and bridges in western pa. corbett cares about the steeler fans

How does the United States pay for transportation infrastructure and improvements?
Actually the funding comes from federal AND state.
