Work to relocate a water main will resume Tuesday (Jan. 6) on Dravosburg Hill, said a district spokesman for the state Department of Transportation.

PennDOT spokesman Steve Cowan said work will continue, weather-permitting, on State Route 2045 (Pittsburgh McKeesport Boulevard and Richland Avenue).

Single-lane restrictions will occur from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily through late January in the northbound direction between Fifth Street and Bettis Road. Overnight work may occur. Crews from Alex E. Paris Contracting will conduct water main relocation operations for Pennsylvania American Water.

The work is being done in preparation for the construction of an interchange with Pennsylvania Turnpike Route 43, the Mon-Fayette Expressway.

PennDOT is not involved in this work and is providing this information as a public service announcement only, Cowan said. For additional information contact PA.Communityrelations@amwater.com.
