Two upcoming projects in the North Hills are expected to cause traffic delays for motorists. PennDOT’s project to upgrade traffic signals along Route 910 in Marshall Township will take place June 6-8 from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. Crews from M and B Services will be working on traffic controllers
Improvements to the intersection of Bower Hill and Washington roads are in the works.
On Tuesday, Mt. Lebanon Commission voted to award a $341,308.21 contract to low bidder Traffic Systems and Services LLC of Robinson Township for a project that features the addition of a dedicated right-turn lane for vehicles proceeding from Bower Hill onto Washington.
The projectâs other facets include installing a new traffic signal system and new sidewalk ramps to comply with federal Americans with Disabilities Act standards.
Covering more than half the cost is a $184,559.60 Automated Red Light Enforcement Transportation Enhancements grant, administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. The local share, $156,748.61, is available through proceeds from a 2019 bond issue and excess money in the municipal Capital Projects Fund.
