McKees Rocks Bridge closure delayed
PennDOT will hold off on its closure of the McKees Rocks Bridge because of inclement weather.
The department initially planned to shut down the bridge from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday to install an overhead sign.
A new date for the closure has not been given.
The new sign is part of a $38.6 million preservation project between Island Avenue and Ohio River Boulevard and includes sidewalk repairs and replacement as well as reconstruction of the road and two ramps at Helen Street, along with several other minor improvements.
Overall work is expected to finish in the fall.
