McKnight Road Traffic Woes: Latest Phase Of PennDOT Work Begins

ROSS TOWNSHIP, PA — Lane closures began Monday on McKnight Road as PennDOT continues a massive rehabilitation of the heavily traveled North Hills road. Single-lane traffic restrictions are in place on McKnight in each direction between Braunlich Drive and Seibert Road.

The round-the-clock restrictions will be in effect through late May. Motorists will still have access to businesses in the corridor, PennDOT said.

The work is part of the $26.99 million McKnight Road improvement project. The rehabilitation will include 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.
