(Allegheny County, PA) PennDOT District 11 announced that a long-term lane crossover is underway on Route 2040 (Curry Hollow Road) in West Mifflin and Pleasant Hills boroughs of Allegheny County. Traffic going westbound on Curry Hollow Road has been crossed over into the lanes going eastbound between Old Curry Hollow Road and Brownsville Road. Full-depth roadway replacement work will be conducted by crews as a single-lane of traffic will be maintained in each direction in the eastbound lanes there, which will stay in place through mid-November. The work being performed in the closed westbound lanes includes curbs, medians, subbase and new median barrier wall there. According to a release from PennDOT District 11, here is the detour for this work:
