Route 88 detours
Truck drivers making local deliveries are being asked to avoid downtown Charleroi for the next two weeks as work is under way to repair sinkholes on Route 88.
While Route 88 north will be open from Interstate 70, southbound trucks will be detoured across the Charleroi-Monessen Bridge to Route 906 south to the Speers-Belle Vernon Bridge along Interstate 70. The first exit at the other end of that bridge puts motorists back onto Route 88.
Trucks destined for World Kitchen should not expect to encounter any detours.
Other southbound motorists should not experience problems getting around the closed sections of the road. That traffic should turn left at the roadblock and make another left onto Lincoln Avenue to return with a left turn at the next intersection to Route 88.
The large parking lot at Seventh Street and Fallowfield Avenue will be closed during construction to allow the contractor a location to store pipes and fill.
