Northbound traffic will be detoured along Routes 30 and 711 and Wilpen and Marietta roads. Southbound motorists will be directed along Knupp Road and Routes 711 and 30.
Lenity School Road is slated to close at 9 a.m.between Patton and Iron City Hill roads, with a detour in place using Lenity School and Turkey Hollow roads, Route 906 and Tyrol Boulevard.
The closure is expected to continue through late June while PennDOT demolishes a bridge over Speers Run and replaces it with a precast concrete pipe and inlet.
The $325,000 project in Rostraver also includes roadway widening and drainage improvement.
