Bank of America received approval from Pittsburgh’s Planning Commission this week to open a new branch in The Waterworks shopping complex.

The bank is planning to tear down an abandoned one-story store on Freeport Road in the Lincoln-Lemington complex and build a new one-story bank there.

The branch will have drive-throughs and added parking, according to the plans presented to the commission. There will be lighting around the perimeter, including around the door and drive-through ATMs, to ensure customers feel safe, said Ryan Mastowski, a civil engineer working on the project.

Bank of America has 14 financial centers and 67 ATMs in Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, Fayette, Washington and Westmoreland counties, according to the bank’s website.
