ROSS TOWNSHIP, PA — Traveling on McKnight Road, always a tricky task, will become even more difficult again this weekend.
PennDOT announced Wednesday that lane closures will occur in the city of Pittsburgh, Ross and McCandless Friday evening July 19 through Monday morning July 22. The traffic restrictions will be in place in each direction between Nelson Run Road and Braulich Drive from 7 p.m. on Friday until 6 a.m. on Monday.
The lane closures will be in effect for the following weekend after this one as crews repair the bridge that carries McKnight over the Evergreen Road/Babcock Boulevard interchange and make concrete repairs to McKnight.

paving operations and structure repairs.
