SOUTH FAYETTE TOWNSHIP, Pa. — A South Fayette Township Road is set to close for more than a year starting Thursday as part of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation's Southern Beltway project.
A portion of Hickory Grade Road will be shut down until Nov. 2019.
Township officials said construction won't be too disruptive because the road is in a rural area and, in the long run, the project is a good thing.
It's part of the massive Southern Beltway project that will eventually connect I-376 near Pittsburgh International Airport and through I-79 to the Mon/Fayette Expressway near Finleyville.
A bridge to carry Hickory Run Road over the beltway is being built.
The meeting with PennDOT and the construction contractor went until 8 p.m. Wednesday.
