$46M project to ease bottlenecks on Campbells Run Road in Collier, Robinson

A major project on Campbells Run Road in Collier and Robinson gets underway Monday, the largest ever undertaken by the Allegheny County Department of Public Works.

The $45.8 million effort will focus on a 1.63-mile section of two-lane Campbells Run between McMichael Road and Keiners Lane that officials said experiences significant bottlenecks.

Officials said it’s a multi-faceted project: a center turning lane will be added in addition to left- and right-turn lanes; Boyce Road and Parkway View Drive will be realigned to create a four-way intersection; and the Parkway West off-ramp to Campbells Run will be widened, among other work.

Also, sidewalks, retaining walls and stormwater management basins will be added. Drainage will be improved as officials said the road often experiences water ponding.

There will be traffic restrictions throughout the project. An average of 14,650 vehicles use the road daily, according to Allegheny County Department of Public Works. Construction is being handled by Golden Triangle Construction of Findlay. The Federal Highway Administration has provided funds for 80% of the project. Allegheny County is paying for the remainder.

Officials said the project will last until 2031.

Wall fixes in Schenley Park to limit cyclists, pedestrians

Starting Monday, a section of Serpentine Drive in Pittsburgh’s Schenley Park will be closed to cyclists and pedestrians as a wall restoration continues.

The work will take place between East Circuit Road and Bartlett Street for about the next month, according to city officials. An 80-foot section of wall along Serpentine Drive failed in 2019 and additional evaluation found another 200 feet of the wall was unstable.

Restoration began in summer 2025. The project is expected to be done this year.

The extensive renovation work included updated showers, changing rooms and accessibility access, as well as new infrastructure and roof. A public swim was held Saturday and normal hours started Sunday.
