Dear Julie & Tom:

Thank you for sharing your comments. The County Executive asked that I respond on his behalf.

Please understand that as part of the intersection improvement project on Browns Hill Road, plans are in place to fix low manholes, potholes, and other pavement issues. Any sections of pavement that are in need of repair immediately will be temporarily repaired, and permanent repairs will occur in the spring.

Unfortunately, there has been no pothole repair completed this year due to a late start by the contractor and the need to open all lanes before Thanksgiving and the holiday season.

Please be assured that Allegheny County is working diligently to complete this project rapidly and efficiently for the benefit of all commuters. We sincerely appreciate your patience as we conduct work.

Thank you again, for sharing your concerns, and please be assured that they will be passed along to the Allegheny County Department of Public Works.

Sincerely,
Colleen Elms
Office of the County Executive
