More McKnight Road Lane Restrictions Coming

ROSS TOWNSHIP, PA — PennDOT has announced there will be nightly McKnight Road lane closures in Ross, Pittsburgh and McCandless Wednesday through Sunday night.

Starting Wednesday night, McKnight Road will be reduced to a single lane as needed between Venture Street and the Babcock Boulevard interchange night from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. through Sunday night as crews perform work.

This $26.99 million McKnight Road improvement project began in February 2024 between Venture Street and Perrymont Road in Pittsburgh, Ross and McCandless, including Babcock Boulevard/Evergreen Road. Work includes bridge and culvert preservation, milling and paving, base repairs, drainage upgrades, pipe cleaning, guide rail, signal, and ADA ramp upgrades, waterline replacement, concrete mountable curb replacement and new signage and pavement markings.

Remaining work in the southbound direction includes drainage updates, milling and paving, and side road adjustments under a lane closure. Side road adjustments and ramp work will occur in the northbound direction.

Work is expected to conclude this summer.
