FRAZER TOWNSHIP, Pa. \u2014 After years of complaints<\/a> from drivers, vehicle damage and even criminal charges against the property owner, construction to repair pothole-riddled roads around the Pittsburgh Mills Mall is set to begin Monday.<\/p>\n

Road construction equipment was lined up Sunday ahead of the long-awaited project, which will mill and pave several roads throughout the shopping complex.<\/p>\n

Drivers told Channel 11 the conditions have become so bad that simply getting through the area can be a challenge.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve heard that it was bad, but I didn\u2019t know it was this bad,\u201d Peter Silk said. \u201cIt\u2019s like a Grand Prix racecourse trying to get through here.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the Allegheny County District Attorney\u2019s Office, the paving project includes portions of Pittsburgh Mills Boulevard, Pittsburgh Mills Circle, Value Drive, Retail Drive and Mills Drive.<\/p>\n

The agreement does not include the mall parking lots, sidewalks or the inner driveway directly surrounding the mall.<\/p>\n

Many shoppers believe the potholes have impacted the foot traffic inside the mall.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know it\u2019s stopped people from coming up here to even shop,\u201d Colleen Beattie said. \u201cA lot of times, I know I have not come up here to shop.\u201d<\/p>\n

Others hope the project will finally put an end to concerns about damaging their vehicles.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019d be great. I wouldn\u2019t have to worry about popping a tire or anything like that,\u201d Silk said.<\/p>\n

The deteriorating road conditions led the Allegheny County District Attorney\u2019s Office to file criminal charges<\/a> against New York-based Namdar Realty Group, the property\u2019s owner.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors allege the roads created a public nuisance and interfered with emergency vehicles responding to calls at the complex.<\/p>\n

A jury trial had been scheduled for last week.<\/p>\n

Instead, during a status hearing, the case was continued after the owners entered into a contract to repave the roads throughout the complex.<\/p>\n

Despite the paving agreement, the criminal case remains active.<\/p>\n

A judge is scheduled to review the project\u2019s progress during another status hearing on September 18.<\/p>\n
