Drivers who use Patton Street to travel from Wilmerding to Monroeville Boulevard and vice versa are having to find another way to get where they’re going until at least September.
The street is closed between Monroeville Boulevard and Mt. Pleasant Drive to allow for construction of a retaining wall, paving, drainage improvements, pavement marking and guide rail replacement, according to the Allegheny County Department of Public Works.
When open, Patton Street is used by an average of 8,217 drivers per day, according to the county.
Pugliano Construction Co. of Plum is the primary construction contractor for the $487,774 project.
