More McKnight Road Lane Closures On The Way

ROSS TOWNSHIP, PA — McKnight Road lane closures will occur again this weekend as PennDOT proceeds with a $27 million improvement project for the heavily traveled road.

Single-lane closures will occur from 7 p.m. Friday through 7 a.m. Sunday between Nelson Run and Braunlich roads as crews make repairs on the McKnight Road bridge over Babcock Boulevard.

The improvement project 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.
