In Cranberry Township work begins this week on the MSA Thruway, a major road project which involves digging a tunnel under Rt. 228 to connect I-79 to the Cranberry Springs development.
A roundabout will be constructed at the approach to the tunnel on the south side of Rt. 228, and there will be sidewalks and bike lanes as well.
Cranberry officials say the project will significantly reduce traffic congestion and delays in the busy corridor. Work is expected to be completed by the winter of 2021.
