The stretch of Spring Garden Road lying between Ramage Road and Beech Street in Reserve has been cleared for traffic once again, as announced by the Department of Public Works. The road segment had been off-limits since June 2 for necessary reconstruction work involving support structures, road repairs, and updates to curbs and pavement markings, based on an update from Allegheny County. The $409,838 project was spearheaded by A-Merante Contracting, a firm seated in West Mifflin.
Commuters who lean on Pittsburgh Regional Transit (PRT) can breathe a little easier now, the detours that rerouted the 7-Spring Garden bus due to the closure will revert to their original paths as of Monday morning, September 8, with the five temporarily discontinued stops resuming service, the list includes stops on Spring Garden Road both inbound and outbound among others, this information gleaned from Allegheny County's website.
The road is a routine path for an average of 1,960 drivers daily, making this reopening a notable alleviation for local traffic flow and bus commuters; PRT Customer Service stands ready to answer queries at 412-442-2000, as highlighted by the county's press release.
