RG Huston will begin reconstruction of West Washington Avenue (Bedford Street to Broom Street) starting Monday, July 12.  The project is expected to be completed in November. 

There will be several phases of construction, beginning with work within the Bassett Street intersection which will require a full closure of South Bassett Street at West Washington Avenue.  Construction phasing will be as follows:

• Phase 1 (~2 week duration)—close South Bassett Street from West Washington Avenue to West Main Street.  Maintain two-way traffic on West Washington Avenue.
• Phase 2 (~2 week duration)—close North Bassett Street from West Mifflin Street to West Washington Avenue.  Maintain two-way traffic on West Washington Avenue.
• Phases 3 & 4 (~12 week duration)–Reopen Bassett Street.  Close 500 block of West Washington Avenue (Bedford Street to Bassett Street), and maintain one westbound (outbound) lane on the 400 block of West Washington Avenue (Bassett Street to Broom Street)
• Phase 5 (~1 day duration)—full closure of West Washington Avenue to complete surface paving.
