In advance of a significant Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) bridge replacement project on Weyman Road, Columbia Gas and its contractor, NPL Construction Company, are currently undertaking a pipeline relocation project transferring pipe from Weyman Road to Provost Road in Whitehall Borough, Allegheny County.
In order to complete the project in a timely and safe manner, Provost Road will remain closed between the intersection of Weyman Road and Provost Road to Saw Mill Run Blvd. The posted detour for local traffic and busses will utilize Saw Mill Run Boulevard (Route 51) and Greenlee Road. The 24 hour-work period and road closure should conclude by the end of July 2023 (weather depending).
This road closure will allow for safe travel by motorists around the work zone and enhance safety and efficiency for work crews to complete work on Provost Road. Motorists traveling through or near Columbia Gas work zones should exercise extreme caution and be prepared for slowed or temporarily stopped traffic. Motorists and should keep a safe distance between vehicles, reduce speed in work zones, and obey flaggers and all posted signs, including detours and parking restrictions. Residents and businesses within the closure area will have access to their homes or businesses at all times.
The patience and cooperation of residents and motorists is appreciated during this important project to maintain safe and reliable natural gas service to homes and businesses in the community.
