Jul. 8—Various PennDOT road projects beginning Monday are set to trigger nighttime single-lane restrictions on sections of Route 30 in Westmoreland and Allegheny counties and on Route 22 in Murrysville, as well as closure of part of Four Mile Run Road in Cook Township.

—Lane restrictions will be in place weekdays, from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m., through July 28 in both directions of Route 30 between Crown Road in North Huntingdon and Bach Road in North Versailles.

Crews from Pennsylvania Drilling Co. will be conducting geotechnical drilling along that stretch of highway, which covers the greater part of an area where PennDOT plans to complete roughly $22 million worth of safety improvements.

—Farther east, in Hempfield, Donegal Construction and Derry Construction are combining forces to resurface Route 30 between the Route 136 interchange and the intersection of Sheraton Drive/Old Route 30.

That work will cause weekday restrictions between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. beginning Wednesday and continuing through late August.

It's part of a $10.6 million project to improve the surface of various state routes in Westmoreland, continuing through next May.

—A bridge preservation project in Murrysville will result in Route 22 lane restrictions between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m., beginning Monday evening and continuing through Friday morning. The restrictions will be in effect between Haymaker Farm Road/Cozy Inn Cutoff and Kistler Road/Kohosek Court.

Traffic will be controlled by flaggers while crews from MEKIS Construction replace pavement relief joints and finish compression seals and strip seal glands.

That work is part of a roughly $2 million effort, continuing through October, to preserve 22 bridges on 16 routes in Westmoreland.

—Closure of Four Mile Run Road, between Bethel Church and Jefferson School roads, is expected to continue through mid-September as PennDOT crews replace an existing bridge with a precast box culvert bridge and widen the road.

A posted detour will direct motorists along Bethel Church Road, Route 711 and Darlington, Jefferson School and Four Mile Run roads.

—A single-lane restriction is scheduled to begin at 7 a.m. Monday on Brush Creek Road in Manor.

Work associated with a bridge project will cause a single-lane restriction through mid-August on Brush Creek Road, between Penn Manor Road and the Trolley Street/Penn Street intersection.

Crews from Beaver Excavating Co. will relocate a sewer line as part of a nearly $2 million project to replace a bridge carrying the road over Brush Creek. The replacement bridge is slated for completion by the end of next year.
