Rock Run Road in Elizabeth Twp. will close near Butler's Golf Course next week so that a bridge can be replaced.
A spokesman for the Allegheny County Department of Public Works said the closure begins at 9 a.m. Oct. 4 near the interesction of Williamsburg Drive and Rock Run Road and will continue through the end of November.
The closure is necessary so that crews from Pugliano Construction of Plum can replace a small bridge over a stream called Wildcat Run, the county said.
All traffic to access Butler’s Golf Course will have to enter from Industry Road, the county said.
Traffic heading east on Rock Run Road will be detoured over Route 48 to Simpson Howell Road to Fallen Timber Road to Boyds Hollow Road and then onto Industry Road. Traffic traveling west will follow the detour in reverse.
Local traffic on Rock Run Road will be maintained from Scenery Drive to Williamsburg Drive. The closure is scheduled to last until the end of November.
The work is being done as part of a more than $2 million construction contract to replace four structurally deficient bridges across the county, the spokesman said.
