Upper St. Clair Ramp Work To Trigger Detour

UPPER ST. CLAIR, PA — Prepare for Route 19 traffic restrictions this weekend. The ramp carrying traffic from northbound Route 19 to McMurray Road-McLaughlin Run Road will be closed from Friday at 7 p.m. until Monday at 6 a.m., PennDOT announced.

As crews conduct a ramp inspection, traffic will be detoured as follows:

• Continue northbound on Route 19 past the closed ramp.
• Turn right onto Fort Couch Road.
• Continue straight onto Bethel Church Road.
• Follow Bethel Church Road back to McMurray Road.
• End detour.

The bridge repair work is part of the $7.27 million improvement project on Route 19 between McMurray Road-McLaughlin Run Road and Connor Road-Gilkinson Road. The project also includes milling and paving, concrete rehabilitation, bridge preservation, drainage and guide rail upgrades, ADA curb ramp and sidewalk improvements, signal updates, and sign and pavement marking installation.

The overall project is anticipated to be completed in May 2022.
