Baldwin Traffic: Brownsville Road Bridge Closes For Repairs

BALDWIN, PA - A section of Brownsville Road closed Monday for a $1.3 million bridge improvement project that won't be completed for nearly four months.

The span carrying Brownsville Road over the Wheeling and Lake Erie Railroad near Option Supply Co. will be closed for concrete pier and abutment repairs, deck repairs, bearing and expansion dam replacements, roadway paving and structural steel painting.

What does that mean for motorists? Commuters traveling on Streets Run road toward Brownsville will be able to make a right turn only onto the road. The detour will be Route 51 (Clairton Boulevard) and Curry Hollow Road.

The project is expected to be completed by the end of October.
