Detour announced for Hulton Road in Oakmont
PennDOT officials have announced a detour implemented for Hulton Road, which is closed between Allegheny Avenue and Fifth Street in Oakmont.
The state road was among many devastated by Tuesday’s storms.
Police Chief Michael Ford said he anticipated the main thoroughfare to be closed for at least a few days as utility crews make repairs.
The detour is as follows:
From the Hulton Bridge
• From Hulton Road, turn right onto Allegheny River Boulevard
• Turn left onto Pennsylvania Avenue
• Turn left onto Tenth Street
• Follow Tenth Street back to Hulton Road.
From Hulton Road east of the closure
• From Hulton Road, turn left onto Ninth Street
• Turn right onto Pennsylvania Avenue
• Turn right onto Allegheny River Boulevard
• Follow Allegheny River Boulevard back to Hulton Road.
It is unclear when the road will be fully reopened.
Duquesne Light reported about 74,000 customers, more than 70,000 in Allegheny County, remained without power as of 5 p.m. Friday.
A major improvement from the 325,000 without power at the storm’s peak.
