Starting this morning, there will be more traffic headaches for drivers who use the McKees Rocks Bridge.
The westbound on-ramp to the McKees Rocks Bridge closed at 7 a.m. and will remain closed through early September.
The westbound off-ramp to Helen Street was already closed.
We spoke with people who live in McKees Rocks, who tell us they’re looking forward to the end result — but they do have concerns with emergency response times.
EMS officials tell us they’ve moved trucks to different locations in order to get the response times they’re looking for.
Channel 11 took the suggested detour Monday morning, which is 6.2 miles, and it took 15 minutes.
From Helen Street, take the ramp to the bridge onto the eastbound lanes to Ohio River Boulevard to the West End Bridge to West Carson Street following the detour back to the McKees Rocks Bridge.
