Vandergrift drainage and sidewalk project scheduled for Columbia Avenue, Fourth Street

Vandergrift Borough has announced an improvement project for the Columbia Avenue parking-lot and sidewalk area and a drainage pipe on Fourth Street, with work scheduled to begin July 6, 2026. The borough is coordinating the project with the Westmoreland County Conservation District. The project notice was posted on the official Vandergrift Borough website, which identifies both locations within the borough.

The Columbia Avenue work covers the parking-lot and sidewalk area, while the Fourth Street work involves the drainage pipe. For residents, pedestrians, nearby businesses and drivers, those are the two named work areas in the municipal notice. The stated purpose is to address drainage and public-access conditions. The notice does not announce a specific street closure, detour or other traffic restriction, so those practical impacts remain unclear.

The official borough notice does not provide a project cost, contractor or projected completion date. The available record also does not include a final completion report, and it does not establish that the work is finished. No later status update is available in the record. The next known step is the scheduled start of work on July 6.
