CRANBERRY TWP — “Teamwork makes the dream work” is not just a catchphrase when it comes to the Freedom Road expansion project.

This was evidenced by the gathering of officials at a ribbon-cutting Saturday for the project’s next phase.

Representatives at local, county and state levels all appeared at 1181 Freedom Road to celebrate the completion of one phase and commemorate the beginning of a new one.

The last phase of the project saw work on Freedom Road between its intersections with Commonwealth Drive and Haine School Road. The next phase will begin at the Haine School Road intersection and continue to the Powell Road intersection.
