Campbells Run Road Improvement Project

Thank you for reaching out!

Work is expected to begin soon in front of Vesuvius. An extension of the Glass Road culvert near the former Outlet Barn is one of the first construction activities that will occur. That work will require short-term single-lane closures with traffic controlled by flaggers. Vesuvius will remain accessible from both directions on Campbells Run Road during the culvert extension work. However, drivers should expect delays in the area.

Also, before and after the culvert extension work this year, there will be underground and overhead utility relocations near Vesuvius and other locations on Campbells Run Road between McMichael Road and Keiners Lane. That work also will require periodic lane closures with traffic controlled by flaggers. Duquesne Light has indicated to us that no electricity outages in the area of Vesuvius are expected as part of their relocation work.

From 2027-2031, different sections of Campbells Run Road will be closed to westbound traffic, while eastbound traffic will always be allowed. We currently anticipate that the westbound closure in front of Vesuvius will start in early 2027, but that is subject to change. When that closure is implemented, drivers will need to reach Vesuvius from the west. For example, drivers could take the "To Ridge Road" Exit 61 off-ramp from the Parkway West (I-376) and then turn right onto Campbells Run Road to head east toward Vesuvius. When drivers leave Vesuvius, they will be have to head east in the direction of Carnegie.

We do not yet know when that westbound closure will be implemented or exactly how long it will take before that section is fully reopened. Our construction contractor has not yet scheduled that far in advance. Prior to any new traffic restrictions being implemented as part of this project, the county will update this webpage, issue a press release, send out an Allegheny Alert, and post the information on social media.

Thank you for reaching out, and we appreciate your good suggestion about messaging! 

This project will take five years because of its extensive scope of work, the significant utility relocations required, the need to perform much of the work during warm-weather months, and the fact that construction must be completed in sections and in a specific sequence. This approach prevents the full closure of Campbells Run Road and ensures that the many homes and businesses along Campbells Run Road and its connecting streets remain accessible throughout the project. 

For example, crews will reconstruct Campbells Run Road one section and one side of the road at a time, and they will not close Parkway View Drive and Glass Road simultaneously.

Thank you for reaching out!

The westbound closure of Campbells Run Road will shift during the project, depending on where work is occurring. However, drivers will always be able to travel in both directions on Campbells Run Road between Boyce Road and the I-376 West off-ramp (Exit 62) throughout the project. That section includes Parkway View Drive. So, for most of the project, you will be able to take a left from the I-376 West off-ramp and then turn right from Campbells Run Road onto Parkway View Drive.

The one exception to that is when Parkway View Drive will be shifted to where Boyce Road connects to Campbells Run to create one single four-way intersection. During that work, you will need to take a right from the I-376 West off-ramp and then turn left from Campbells Run Road onto Glass Road to reach Parkway View Drive.
