Evergreen Road Traffic Headaches Coming For Ross Motorists

ROSS TOWNSHIP, PA — Lane closures on Evergreen Road in Ross and the City of Pittsburgh will begin Friday, PennDOT announced.

A single-lane closure will occur 24 hours a day on Evergreen in each direction between Ivory Avenue and Venture Street through mid-July. One lane of traffic will be maintained in each direction on Evergreen Road as crews will conduct concrete curb, drainage and utility work.

The work is part of a $27 million McKnight Road improvement project that includes bridge and culvert preservation, milling and paving, base repairs, drainage upgrades and repairs, pipe cleaning, guide rail, signal and ADA ramp upgrades, waterline replacement, concrete mountable curb replacement and new signage and pavement markings between Venture Street and Perrymont Road -including the Babcock Boulevard/Evergreen Road ramps.

Before work concludes in the spring of 2025, restrictions will also include a 12-day closure of the Nelson Run Road interchange, two weekend closures at the Venture Street intersection, and several overnight ramp closures for paving operations and structure repairs.
