The 1.7 mile stretch of road is being closed so that crews can rebuilding the road around the bridges for the new stretch of the Mon/Fayette Expressway.
Coal Valley Road has been closed a number of times in recent months as crews have been working on the new part of the expressway that will eventually connect Pennsylvania 43 to Interstate 376 in Monroeville.
The Turnpike Commission says a detour around the closure will stretch four miles and will direct drivers along Rt. 885 and Walnut Avenue through Clairton to get back onto Rt. 837 near the Clairton-Glassport Bridge.
"Depending on weather conditions, Coal Valley Road should be reopened in early August," the Turnpike Commission said.

Historic Terrible Trolley "painstakingly" restored to full operation
The Terrible Trolley has been restored to all its '80s Steelers glory, and it's ready to roll out at the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum. The Washington County museum, which acquired the historic streetcar in 2023, says it has been "painstakingly" restored to full operation. It will be unveiled at the museum on Tuesday. Streetcar 1713, more famously known as The Terrible Trolley, was built in 1949. In 1980, 9-year-old Kim Sever wrote a letter to then-Mayor Richard Caliguiri suggesting they repaint a trolley to celebrate the Steelers' four Super Bowl wins. Just a few days later, the girl's idea was a reality. That year, the Terrible Trolley ran every day until it was retired for good in 1998 and later sold to a collector in Ohio. There it remained in storage for over 20 years before it was acquired by the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum. A team of volunteers have worked to restore the trolley, starting with metal and bodywork, painting the car, reupholstering the seats and handpainting and applying decals. The Pennsylvania Trolley Museum hopes the restored Terrible Trolley will be a major draw to Washington County, especially when the NFL Draft comes to Pittsburgh in 2026. "The Terrible Trolley represents the Pittsburgh region's pride in their beloved sports team. We are excited to present this beautifully restored and nostalgic streetcar to our community," executive director and CEO Jeanine DeBor said in a press release. "We are extremely proud of the hard work and dedication our paid and volunteer staff devoted to this project."

Fairhope roundabout project ahead of schedule
UPDATE (5 p.m.): Drivers headed in and out of downtown Fairhope could see smoother traffic sooner than expected because construction on a major roundabout is months ahead of schedule. It's one of the busiest intersections in Fairhope, but for the past few months, it's been a construction zone. 'It was somewhat of an awkward intersection,' Fairhope's City Engineer Richard Johnson said. 'We did have a pretty high volume of traffic accident data here.' A new roundabout is underway near the city's iconic flower clock, where Triangle Drive, Veterans Drive, Scenic 98 and North Section Street intersect. And starting Monday, drivers will notice a new traffic pattern. 'A very big objective of our project is to keep as much traffic using the intersection during construction as possible,' Johnson said. 'This morning, we have now started directing traffic into the built portion of the roundabout and now Triangle Drive. So we're excited that we're one lane better than we were as of last week.' The good news is that this project is running ahead of schedule so far and is already about three-quarters of the way complete. The roundabout is designed to ease congestion and make this intersection safer for motorists. City engineers said it could open sooner than expected. 'With good weather, you know he really is really targeting by Labor Day that this is fully open,' Johnson said. Until then, drivers are asked to stay aware of the construction zone and stay patient for this infrastructure upgrade. PREVIOUS REPORTING FAIRHOPE, Ala. (WKRG) — Drivers in the area of Triangle Drive in Fairhope can expect some delays and changes to their route because of road work being done at a new roundabout.
