Travel Advisory

Gibsonia Road Bridge Replacement to Close Section of State Route 0910 in Indiana Twp., Allegheny Co.
Nine-month detour to be in effect for local traffic.

The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission advises motorists that a section of State Route 0910 in Indiana Twp., Allegheny Co. will be closed for crews to replace an overhead bridge, which carries Gibsonia Road (State Route 0910) over the Turnpike at milepost 43.6.  The bridge is located east of the intersection of Saxonburg Blvd. and State Route 0910 between the Indiana Twp. Public Works garage and Lakewood Cemetery.      

The bridge replacement will require a 9-month detour for cars and a separate detour for truck traffic. Beginning Feb. 1 State Route 0910 will be closed between Hill Top Road and Cove Run Road.  The following detours will be in effect:

CAR DETOUR ROUTE:   Traffic will be detoured over Saxonburg Boulevard (SR 1013) to Harts Run Road (SR 1010) to Dorseyville Road to Fox Chapel Road (SR 1006) then to Guys Run Road (SR 1006) and Locust Hill Road (SR 1006).  Approximate length of detour is 12 miles.

TRUCK DETOUR ROUTE:  Traffic will be detoured over Saxonburg Boulevard (SR 1013) to Harts Run Road (SR 1010) to SR 0008 and then to SR 0028. Approximate length of detour is 25 miles.

Trumbull Corp. of Pittsburgh will be replacing the existing bridge that carries Gibsonia Road over the Turnpike with a two-span concrete bridge scheduled to be completed by Fall of 2016.

Gibsonia Road Bridge is the final bridge to be replaced during a series of early-action projects needed to accommodate the total reconstruction of the Turnpike from milepost 40 to 48. To date, five bridges (Middle Road, two Gibsonia Road bridges, Rich Hill Road and Saxonburg Blvd.) have been replaced and opened to traffic since work began in early 2013. Over the next three years, the mainline will continue to be reconstructed and widened between Butler Valley Interchange (Exit #39) and Allegheny Valley Interchange (Exit #48).  For more information on this project please visit http://www.mp40-48construction.com.
