Public Works Changes Traffic Pattern Due To Construction
The Allegheny County Public Works Department is changing the traffic pattern near the Rankin bridge because of construction.
The Rankin bridge underpass is now closed, so all traffic heading toward Homestead is being re-routed through a signal intersection and that's adding big delays.
This is all necessary so contractors can replace the Rankin bridge in sections.
This work was actually delayed so it wouldn't affect traffic near the Waterfront shopping center during the busy holiday season, but depending on how long the work takes, it could affect next year's shopping season in this area.
