McKnight Road Crossover To Test Motorists' Patience

ROSS TOWNSHIP, PA — More traffic headaches are on the way for motorists traveling on McKnight Road.

PennDOT has announced that southbound traffic will be shifted into the northbound lanes on Saturday as work begins on the bridge over Babcock Boulevard. Traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction, both in the northbound lanes, between Ross Municipal Drive and Brookview Lane.

The crossover will be in effect through late April.
