Major Delays Expected on Route 50

Motorists who use Route 50 in the Carnegie area should expect extensive delays for the next week while major work is done on a stream relocation project.

The long-term road closure of Route 50 began Friday night and will continue until Aug. 22.

PennDOT said crews from Allison Park Contractors are working closely with ALCOSAN to perform a $600,000 stream restoration project in the area.

The work will happen between Hope Hollow Road and Chestnut Street. PennDOT is suggesting people use Greentree Road and Forsythe Road as a detour. The roadway will only remain open for local traffic and emergency vehicles.
