Motorists should be aware of a local road closure planned by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.
According to PennDOT, a portion of Old Route 8 South in Middlesex Township will be closed beginning 7 a.m. Monday morning and continuing through September 2nd weather permitting.
The full closure will occur at the intersection with Parks Road in order to allow crews to realign the roadway. The new perpendicular intersection will improve site distance and safety. Future plans are for a cul-de-sac on Old Route 8 South to the south of Route 228.
This project is expected to cost nearly $27 million. All traffic will be detoured using Parks Road to Route 228 East to Old Route 8 South.
