PITTSBURGH — Allegheny County Public Works today announced the closure of the McKeesport-Duquesne Bridge from 12:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 26, until 12:00 a.m. on Sunday, June 27, weather permitting. The closure is necessary to complete pavement reconstruction on the approach ramps on the Duquesne side of the bridge.

During the bridge closure, traffic will follow posted detours. From McKeesport, all traffic will be detoured onto Route 148 South (Lysle Blvd.) and continuing on Fifth Avenue. Traffic will then cross the Mansfield Bridge and continue onto Pittsburgh-McKeesport Blvd. and then onto Lebanon Church Road. Traffic will turn onto Camp Hollow Road and then onto Philip Murray Road and back to Route 837. From Duquesne, traffic will follow the detour in reverse. A map of the detour route is available at www.alleghenycounty.us/news/2010/20100420a_1.pdf.
