Commute Question - N. Versailles to Gibsonia

Bonster214

Hi ladies!

I can't post this question to FB so I'm hoping a few of you are around and can answer on here. 

Does anyone know how the commute is from N. Versailles to Gibsonia? There is a job I may be interested in but I'm not sure if the commute would be worth it. 

Thanks!!

Where in Gibsonia? Gibsonia's mailing address is vast. It goes from just past Shaler to Mars (parts of Mars are Gibsonia because Treesdale).

Well I don't have experience of that commute I can't imagine it would be pleasant unless it was during off hours

How close are each of the locations to the turnpike? I don't know that I would sign up for that commute. Especially during the winter.

I was going to add that if you have easy access to the turnpike it isn't too bad. That stretch of turnpike is pretty well maintained in the winter, I used to drive Monroeville to the Butler Valley interchange which is Route 8, pretty regularly during rush hour without issues. If you are going the Parkway to 28 to Route 8 or 910, then I would say heck no.

I drove from Mt. Troy/Millvale to Route 910/Middle Road for 4 years and it was about a 30 minute drive, 40 if the roads were bad because West Deere sucks at snow removal. I took 28 to Route 8 then 910. You can also get off in Harmar  and catch 910. They were about equal time wise.

looks like it's near Kean Theatre / Eden Hall Upper Elementary school area. Google says that taking the turnpike would be about 50 minutes without traffic and taking Rt. 8 would be 40 minutes without traffic.

Oh, it is by St. Barnabas.

If you have to take the Parkway for any of it, I would pass. You have to drive into town then back out. The turnpike does avoid all of that even if it does take a bit longer. Are they taking you off at Butler Valley or Cranberry?

ETA: We used to have two employees that commuted from Irwin/Monroeville to Gibsonia and they had no issues. It was about a 40-45 min. trip via the turnpike.

Since I live in the same general area as you do, I think it would get old fast.   But it depends on if you like to drive/don't mind commuting.   Rt 48 gets so backed up in evening rush hour (which is how I assume you'd get to/from the turnpike).
