UPDATE (7/28): The Boyce Road detour scheduled to start July 26 did not occur and is apparently delayed indefinitely. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has not yet released a statement with details or an updated timeline. The existing detour of Mayview Road remains in place.
Traffic detours and restrictions are occurring from March until sometime in November for PennDOT improvements to the intersection of Boyce and Mayview roads in South Fayette Township.
