Pittsburgh, PA - PennDOT District 11 is announcing lane restrictions on Route 51 (Clairton Boulevard) in West Mifflin, Baldwin, Pleasant Hills, and Jefferson Hills borough, Allegheny County will begin Thursday, October 31 weather permitting.

Single-lane and shoulder restrictions will occur as needed on Route 51 in both directions between Coal Valley Road and Lebanon Church Road daily from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. through late November. Crews from Lindy Paving will conduct survey and construction layout work.

This $19.85 million roadway project on Clairton Boulevard includes milling and resurfacing, concrete replacement, bridge preservation work on three structures (two structures over Lewis Run and one structure over Lebanon Church Road), drainage work, guide rail improvements, ADA curb ramp updates, PRT bus stop improvements, signing and pavement marking installation, and other miscellaneous construction activities. Also included is an adaptive traffic signal project that will provide upgrades to 24 intersections, including full signal replacement at nine intersections, from Peters Creek Road in Jefferson Hills Borough to Stewart Avenue in the City of Pittsburgh. Up to one-mile-long single-lane restrictions will occur in each direction limiting left-turn movements except for at signalized intersections. Detours for the left-turn movements will be posted. Major improvement work is not expected to begin until 2025. The project is anticipated to conclude in late 2026.
