Parkway North HOV Lane Off-Ramp To Close

ROSS TOWNSHIP, PA — The Parkway North high occupancy vehicle off-ramp to McKnight Road will be closed nightly on weeknights beginning Wednesday. PennDOT announced the ramp will be closed from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. through mid-August.

The recommended detour:

• Take the Perrysville Avenue/Route 19 exit
• Turn right onto Route 19 (Perry Highway)
• Turn right onto Cemetery Lane
• Turn left onto the ramp southbound I-279 towards Pittsburgh
• Take the East Street (Exit 4) exit
• Turn right onto East Street toward Route 19 North/McKnight Road
• Continue straight to Evergreen Road
• Continue straight to McKnight Road
• End detour

The closure is occurring so crews can repave the road.

The work is part of the $27 million McKnight Road improvement project that 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.
