A new phase of construction on McKnight Road is getting underway with a new closure on the northbound McKnight Road off-ramp to Babcock Boulevard.

In Ross Township, crews have begun the next phase of construction on the McKnight Road Bridge over Babcock Boulevard.

Single-lane, each direction traffic patterns are in effect for line painting and barrier placement.

When completed, north-bound traffic will be crossed over to the south-bound side of the bridge allow crews to work in the north-bound lanes.

“Additionally, to accommodate this work, the northbound McKnight Road off-ramp to Babcock Boulevard will close to traffic through early July. Ramp traffic will be detoured,” PennDOT said in a release.

Here is the posted detour from PennDOT:
