PennDOT: Route 65 Work Begins Friday in Leetsdale

PennDOT plans to begin work to reconstruct northbound Route 65 (Ohio River Boulevard) in Leetsdale starting on Friday, Nov. 30.

PennDOT Spokesman Jim Struzzi said crews will perform full-depth concrete reconstruction in the area of the Cross Street intersection, near the Ambridge border.

This will mean lane restrictions for travelers. Northbound Route 65 will be restricted to a single lane beginning at 7 a.m. on Friday around-the-clock through late December to allow the work to occur, Struzzi said.

Additional work includes curb and inlet replacements, asphalt patching, signals and other minor improvements. 

PennDOT is advises motorists to use all lanes to the merge point and allow others to courteously form a single lane of traffic through the work zone. Also, allow extra time and expect changing traffic patterns.
