ROSS TOWNSHIP, PA — Prepare for even more traffic headaches on McKnight Road. PennDOT on Wednesday announced a long-term single-lane closure on the southbound lanes in Pittsburgh, Ross and McCandless.

The southbound right-hand lane of McKnight Road between Perrymont Road and the Babcock Boulevard/Evergreen Road interchange will close to traffic at 9 a.m. on March 8 and remain in place around-the-clock through early July to allow crews to conduct concrete repairs and drainage work.

Motorists will still have access to the businesses along the corridor.
