Perry Highway In West View to Remain Closed Through Weekend

It appears it will be at least Monday before Perry Highway reopens between Center Avenue and West View Park Drive.

Crews Wednesday began to repair of a sewer line underneath Perry Highway, directly across the street from Dunkin Donuts. Then, heavy rains early Thursday morning damaged the sewer repairs, and a ten-inch water main. 

Up to a dozen West View businesses were without water until Thursday afternoon.

Crews from Equitable Gas, West View Borough, and West View Water have been working above and below ground since early Thursday morning.

West View Police say it will take until Monday to wrap up the project.

“It’s a lot of work," said Lt. Matt Holland of West View Police. "We want to make sure the integrity of the road is safe before we let people travel on it.”
