South Hills drivers could spend some of their weekend sitting in traffic.
One of the area’s busiest roads will be closing; Route 19 is going to be shut down between Boyce Road and McLaughlin Run and McMurray Road — not far from South Hills Village Mall.
The signs are already in place, letting drivers know that at 1 a.m. the stretch will close.
The closure is just south of one of the busiest spots in the South Hills.
PennDOT already has cones and signs along Route 19 in Upper Saint Clair.
Both lanes of Route 19 will be closed in both directions until 10 p.m. Sunday between Boyce Road and McLaughlin Run and McMurray Road.
Crews will be removing construction materials that were being used for the replacement of the Country Club Drive Bridge Project.
PennDOT wants drivers to use a detour from McLaughlin Run Road to Lesnett, then to Mayview onto Boyce.
Then, you can follow Boyce back to 19.
Potentially adding to the traffic: The Christmas festivities begin at South Hill Village with Santa arriving this weekend.
