'A domino effect' of five to six poles fell between Center Church Road to Rolling Hills Country Club Monday evening, the Peters fire chief confirmed.
East McMurray Road, between Center Church Road to Rolling Hills Country Club, has reopened after it was closed for a short time due to downed poles, Peters fire Chief Noel "Mac" McMullen confirmed. At approximately 5 p.m. Monday, Verizon workers were cutting some of the power lines between poles. They dropped a pole—purposely—however, it reacted in a sense of a "domino effect," McMullen said. "They are heavy lines," he said. "Once one pole was pushed by the weight, it pushed the next pole and so on." The chief estimated five to six fallen poles. One pole landed on a moving vehicle, but the driver was uninjured and not taken by ambulance to an area hospital, he said. Editor's Note: With the help of readers, we reported this information …

Home construction targeted for September at Fair Acres, just over the Peters Township border, off East McMurray Road.
If you haven’t been to the southeastern corner of Upper St. Clair lately, it’s looking different nowadays. A major grading project off Hays Road, right before it crosses into Peters Township, is making way for the new Fair Acres residential development. William McCloskey, the developer, told Upper St. Clair officials that construction of homes is to start in September. That target seems to be on schedule, as soon as utility connections are made. Fair Acres gained approval in December, and work on the 37-lot subdivision began in May. Among the custom builders listed for the upscale homes are Cortes Builders, Eddy Homes, Londonbury Homes and Paragon Homes. The developer is helping to pay for improvements to Hays Road and nearby Hays Park. …

Two cars collided in the midst of ongoing construction at the intersection of East McMurray and Center Church roads Monday morning.
There were no injuries Monday morning after two cars collided in the midst of ongoing construction at the intersection of East McMurray and Center Church roads in Peters Township. The construction is under way as a township effort to prevent common vehicle accidents. Crews are currently widening the roadways and adding a traffic signal. Just before 11 a.m., Stephanie A. Armstrong, 40, of Canonsburg, quickly accelerated her Volkswagen in the eastbound lane striking Jane B. Moffitt's BMW directly in front of her vehicle. Moffitt, 65, of McCandless Township, stopped for traffic before she was hit near the 300 block of East McMurray Road, according to Peters police. The accident occurred just prior to where the flag person was directing …

Single lane closures Monday through Friday will continue until the current part of the project is complete, PennDOT says.
So by now you've noticed the orange cones and steady stream of single-lane traffic at the crest of the hill where East McMurray and Center Church roads meet. The project, which began in April, is being done to improve safety of the intersection. In March, we reported, East McMurray Road will be widened and a traffic signal will be added. It will be widened to provide right and left turning lanes at the intersection of South Center Church Road, and a left turn lane at the intersection of North Center Church Road. The new traffic signal will be added to the South Center Church Road intersection. The $871,916 project, being completed by A. Liberoni, Inc., will be complete in late October—tentatively Oct. 26.
