Freedom Road closing next week
Freedom Road westbound will be closed from 10 a.m. Sept. 16 until 6 a.m. Sept. 19 between Haine School Road and Commonwealth Drive.
The Department of Transportation is closing the road for paving, drainage and signal work.
The contractor, Gulisek Construction, of Mt. Pleasant, Pa., will be maintaining eastbound traffic with signage and flagging as needed. For the westbound detour, traffic will use Freedom Road east, to Route 19 north, to Rochester Road, to Powell Road and back to Freedom Road.
This project is an extension of the Freedom Road project, which included new highway and turning lanes, widening, paving, drainage, signal upgrade and replacement, lighting work, highway realignment, safety improvements and sidewalks.
The $9.8 million project is estimated to be completed in the fall.
