REMINDER: More Traffic Headaches Coming to Curry Hollow Road

Work on a $5.6-million project to replace a bridge on Curry Hollow Road in Pleasant Hills Borough will begin on Wednesday, March 14, weather permitting, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation District 11-0.

The bridge over the railroad tracks east of Jefferson Memorial Cemetery and Funeral Home and just west of Arbor Lane (next to Sheetz) will be replaced with a new bridge that will widen the existing roadway to add a turning lane. Traffic signals will be installed, resurfacing will be done, and other improvements will be made, as well.

Beginning on March 14, westbound (toward the funeral home) short-term single-lane closures will occur in the bridge area from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekdays through March 22. Then, on March 23, long-term restrictions will be implemented that will reduce traffic to two 10-foot-wide lanes—one in each direction—around the clock through late November 2012.

Overall work will conclude in the fall of 2013. The prime contractor is Carmen Paliotta Contracting, Inc., of South Park Township.

This work will coincide with the  intersection, which is not expected to be completed until the spring of 2013.

Curry Hollow Road sits between Route 51 and Brownsville Road on the border of Pleasant Hills and  boroughs.
