ROUTE 65 CLOSURE CONTINUES THROUGH EARLY SUMMER 2012 AT MARSHALL AVENUE INTERCHANGE IN PITTSBURGH
The long-term closure currently in place on Route 65 (Ohio River Boulevard) in the City of Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, will continue through early summer 2012.

The bridges were originally scheduled to temporarily open in November with closures resuming in early 2012 continuing through fall 2012. Working with the contractor, the Walsh Construction Company, PennDOT is extending the current closure through the winter months to continue efforts to improve these structurally deficient bridges. This extension will allow closures needed next year to conclude approximately two months sooner than anticipated.

Traffic is being detoured using the on-and-off ramps to Beaver Avenue and California Avenue.
