MUB to begin overnight work at the intersection of University Avenue and Walnut Street
Beginning at 8 p.m. Sunday, August 10, MUB crews will temporarily close a single lane in both directions of University Avenue at the intersection with Walnut Street. The far left lane of Walnut Street as it approaches University Avenue will also be closed. Lane closures will occur between the overnight work hours of 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. Sunday night through Thursday morning. All lanes will reopen by 6 a.m.
Lane closures are as follows (a map of the area is available via Dropbox by clicking here):- Traveling toward the Westover Bridge: The right lane from the corner of Wall Street (beginning of the parking area of Vic's Garage) through Walnut Street (in front of The Brew Pub)
- Traveling away from the Westover Bridge: The left lane in front of the County Sheriff building will be closed through Walnut Street
- Traveling down Walnut Street: The far left lane will be closed from Chestnut Street to University Avenue
The lane closures are necessary while MUB crews install a 24-inch water line. This work is expected to continue for a minimum of two weeks. Once complete, this water line will be tied into a 26 high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe being directionally drilled beneath the Monongahela River. The tie-in itself will occur toward the bottom of Walnut Street. Please exercise caution when traveling through this area.
