Pittsburg, PA
Part of Route 119 is closed in Westmoreland County. What to know before hitting the road.
HEMPFIELD, Pa. (KDKA) — If you’re traveling in and out of Greensburg along Route 119 over the next few weeks, find a different route.
Route 119, also known as New Alexandria Road, is closed in Hempfield Township between Hannastown and Forbes Trail roads.
And despite the turnarounds, most people took the closure in stride on Monday, but they were all caught a little off guard.
“I saw a sign that said local traffic allowed through, so I was assuming I could make it. But I wasn’t making it through,” motorist Annalise Shank said. “It will be a bit of an incontinence. When I leave from home and head to Greensburg before work, this is the shortcut I take to get over to the other side of town. So, kind of a bummer that I got to turn around now and add that into my daily travels.”
“There is always construction everywhere you go,” said Alice Mankie of New Alexandra. “So, I don’t mind.”
The reason for this closure is the construction of a bridge over a branch of Crabtree Creek. The construction will also include improvements to the bridge’s approach, drainage, guardrails and signage.
The best detour KDKA-TV found is to use Forbes Trail Road to Hannastown Road if you are heading into Greensburg, and the reverse if you are heading out. The total detour time is about two to three minutes.
The total cost of this construction project is around $1 million. Weather permitting, the project should be wrapped up by the end of June.

Here’s when you should fill up your gas tank if you’re leaving the Pittsburgh area going on vacation
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — A major summer vacation expense is the money you spend on the gas you use to get to your destination.
Here are some ways you can save your vacation dollars.
The average price of a gallon of gas in Pittsburgh right now is $3.75 — and if you’re traveling, you can do better.
The rule of thumb when it comes to gas is to do your homework.
Patrick De Haan is the Head of Petroleum Analysis for Gas Buddy and he says he would fill up almost anywhere but Pittsburgh right now.
De Haan says that if you’re heading north, there are two stations on I-80 in a price war in Barkeyville at $3.09 per gallon, but in Grove City, gas is $3.89 per gallon.
“So again, an 80 cent per gallon difference and about 30 miles,” De Haan said. “It all depends on the route that you take.”
If you’re I-90 bound through Erie and beyond, you’ll want to get to Irving, New York, where on the Indian reservation, gas is $2.97 per gallon.
“But if you’re not on the Indian Reservation, be careful because right outside of that, $3.55 per gallon,” De Haan said.
Traveling east is certainly not cheap, but De Haan says there are some pockets of low gas prices in places like Breezewood.
It’s 20 cents more per gallon in the Harrisburg and Philadelphia areas, but if you can get across the state line into New Jersey, you’ll notice a big drop in prices.
Heading west from our area, cheaper gas isn’t too far away.
“When you just get into West Virginia, there is that snippet of West Virginia prices there,” De Haan said.
If you’re heading south, a tank of gas should get you to Wytheville, Virginia where prices under $3.00 per gallon are abundant.
Some of the cheapest prices heading south are in the Carolinas and De Haan says it’s all about planning your fuel stops.
De Haan suggests using apps like GasBuddy, Waze, Upside, or Google Maps to help you find the best price for gas along your route.
