Public Works Changes Traffic Pattern Due To Construction

The Allegheny County Public Works Department is changing the traffic pattern near the Rankin bridge because of construction.

The Rankin bridge underpass is now closed, so all traffic heading toward Homestead is being re-routed through a signal intersection and that’s adding big delays.

This is all necessary so contractors can replace the Rankin bridge in sections.

A robber who threatened to use a gun held up the Marriott Courtyard in The Waterfront shopping complex mall early yesterday, police said.

The robber, a black man about 5 feet, 10 inches, entered the front lobby around 6 a.m.

He wore a brown hooded coat, with the hood tied tightly around his face, exposing only his eyes and nose, West Homestead police Chief Christopher Deasy said.

The robber confronted the lone clerk, demanded and took an undisclosed amount of money and fled.
