PITTSBURGH —

Will work on the Homestead Grays Bridge and Browns Hill Road be halted during the Parkway shutdown?

Residents have raised concerns about Browns Hill Road and Homestead Grays Bridge construction, a high-traffic area that is expected to become even busier during the Parkway East closure. Viewer Randi asked, “If it’s not done soon, will they halt it during the parkway shut down to alleviate the traffic back up with the detours?”

A spokesperson for Pittsburgh Water wrote in part: “In accordance with the condition of our Highway Occupancy Permit (HOP) agreement with Allegheny County, the current lane closure on Brown’s Hill will be removed prior to the closure of the Commercial Street Bridge.”

The sidewalk in the area will remain closed, and the existing pedestrian detour will stay in place for the duration of Pittsburgh Water’s work. Officials also said crews may still be seen working within the project site, but all activity will be contained off the roadway and away from the traveling public.

It is unclear whether lane closures will need to be reinstalled after the bridge work is complete. Updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
