Some Members May Need to Find an Alternate Route to Church Beginning this Weekend
The Chartiers Bridge replacement project on Washington Pike, at the border of South Fayette and Bridgeville, will occur during three extended weekend closures, starting on Thursday, April 13, 2023. The work represents the final stages of the project, which will improve traffic flow on and around the bridge and the adjacent I-79 interchange.
PennDOT will confirm each closure in advance, as the schedule may need to change due to environmental or other factors that would affect the work.
