Long-term roadwork project set to begin on Rt. 910

MARSHALL TOWNSHIP, Pa. (KDKA) -- PennDOT is doing a months-long construction project along Route 910. You can expect some delays if you are driving around Northern Allegheny County for the next few months. 

It's the time of year when plants start to come into bloom and orange cones sprout. You can expect to see them periodically along seven miles of Route 910 that will be worked on between Mingo Road in Marshall Township, to Hardt Road in Richland Township.

"We're just asking for patience. We know it's going to be difficult. We know it's going to delay people getting to work, getting home from work," Northern Regional Police Chief John Sicilia said.

According to PennDOT, there will be single-lane restrictions throughout the project. During the day, those restrictions will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and overnight from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. The Northern Regional Police Department says drivers should look at alternate routes but stay alert to the posted speed limits.

"You wouldn't want someone speeding through your neighborhood, so if you could be mindful of that," Chief Sicilia said.

Officers will be out patrolling and making sure traffic flows smoothly. They too will be looking for alternate routes to handle emergencies.

"There are a lot of different ways. Fortunately, our officers are familiar with the area and know how to get from point A to B, quickly," Chief Sicilia said.

The work to be completed on this project includes milling, paving, upgrading drainage and upgrading guide rails. 

On Facebook, the Northern Regional Police Department had some fun with a post advising drivers to leave early because fashionably late is out of style, adding "Patience is more than a virtue it's your copilot," and of course "All the selfies you can post on the 'gram while you're stopped in traffic."

"Try to add a little humor to soften the blow," Chief Sicilia said. If everything goes as planned, this project will wrap up in late fall.
