Business Route 22 in Monroeville to be Closed Saturday Night

PennDOT District 11 is announcing Business Route 22 will be closed in both directions on Saturday night, Oct. 22, in the area under the outbound Parkway East (I-376) in Monroeville, weather permitting.

The closure will occur from 11 p.m. on Saturday to 8 a.m. on Sunday to allow crews to place beams for the new bridge that will carry the outbound Parkway East over Business Route 22. Note: A closure might also occur Sunday night, Oct. 23, if inclement weather prevents completion of the work Saturday.

Signs will be posted to guide motorists during the overnight closure.

Posted detour:

Eastbound

• Turn left at traffic signal onto Route 48 (Mosside Boulevard/Haymaker Road)
• Turn right onto Old William Penn Highway
• Follow Old William Penn Highway back to Business Route 22
• End detour

Westbound

• Same detour in opposite direction

Motorists will still be able to access the Pennsylvania Turnpike from eastbound Business Route 22 and the inbound Parkway East and Pennsylvania Turnpike from westbound Business Route 22. Traffic coming off the Pennsylvania Turnpike accessing westbound Business Route 22 will need to use the posted detour to bypass the closure.

Single lane traffic will also occur nightly on the outbound Parkway East in the bridge area Oct. 20 through Nov. 4 according the following schedule:

Monday to Thursday nights

• 8 p.m. to 5 a.m.

Friday nights

• 8 p.m. to 9 a.m.

Saturday nights

• 10 p.m. to 10 a.m.

Sunday nights

• 7 p.m. to 5 a.m.

Please use caution, allow extra time, and be prepared for changing traffic patterns. Slow down and be safe in the work zone.
