RESUMED: Curry Hollow Road Bridge Work

The work is part of a $5.6-million project to replace a bridge on Curry Hollow near Sheetz.

Work on a $5.6-million project to replace a bridge on Curry Hollow Road in Pleasant Hills Borough resumed on Friday, March 1, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation District 11-0. Traffic is being reduced to a single, 10-foot wide lane in each direction between Route 51 (Clairton Boulevard) and Keeport Drive, and the restrictions will remain in place around-the-clock through mid-November. The project includes replacing an existing three-span encased I-beam bridge over railroad tracks just west of Arbor Lane (next to Sheetz) and east of Jefferson Memorial Cemetery and Funeral Home with a single-span adjacent box beam structure. The new bridge will widen the existing roadway to add a turning lane. Traffic signals will be …

Council Will Repair Roads Only in South Baldwin This Year

'I can't see jumping around the borough just to make people think that things are even.' – Councilman Bob Collet

Baldwin Borough's council members voted, 6-1, on Tuesday night in favor of using the borough's road funds to repair only roads in south Baldwin this year. Councilman Bob Collet made that motion, saying that the borough should save money by keeping its resurfacing equipment in one general area as opposed to taking it across Route 51 and up Streets Run Road to north Baldwin. "I can't see jumping around the borough just to make people think that things are even," Collet, a central Baldwin resident, said after hearing from borough engineers that the cost of transporting equipment will eat away at the money designed to actually fix the borough's roads. "Get the best for your dollar," Collet said before suggesting that, next year, the council …

LIST: Leaders Discuss Which Roads Should Be Repaved in Baldwin Boro

And other notes from Tuesday night's Baldwin Council meeting.

Road Repair The Baldwin Borough Council is reviewing a preliminary list of 29 Baldwin streets and 30 total borough spots that are in need of some sort of road repair. The borough's 2013 budget shows $800,000 allocated for such repair (up $50,000 from 2012), but the estimated cost to repair all 30 spots discussed at Tuesday night's council agenda meeting is over $3 million, meaning that not every troubled spot can likely be corrected this year. The list includes 15 spots each in north and south Baldwin: Instead of completely repaving each of these places for long-term restoration, the borough could save money and extend the life of existing pavement by merely seal coating, or "tar-and-chipping," troubled spots, borough engineer Larry …

Police Look for Pit Bull's Owner After Biting Incident

The dog's owner has not yet been identified.

A Baldwin Borough police officer went to the Uni-Mart at the intersection of Keeport Drive and Knoedler Road in south Baldwin at around 6:35 p.m. on Nov. 26 for a dog bite incident, according to a police report.
