ROSS TOWNSHIP, Pa. — Thompson Run Road in Ross Township is closing through the end of June while repairs are made after a landslide.
The closure starts Monday between West Sutter Road and Russell Road. Thompson Run Road had been down to a single lane since Feb. 21.
Road stabilization repairs will be made to Thompson Run Road because of the landslide and recent road failure, officials said.
The project includes excavation and the placement of rock to stabilize the hillside, as well as the addition of new drainage systems and the relocation of utilities, according to the Allegheny County Department of Public Works.
A detour will be in place. Drivers will use McIntyre, McKnight and Siebert roads.

Marsha Logan lives on Amity Road, a street over from Thompson Run Road, and is concerned about the additional traffic that could come through her neighborhood to avoid the posted detour.
“We understand people want to take the quickest way. It’s a bad detour. I know that, I live on this street. There are people who live on our street and people don’t obey the traffic laws. They speed, they coast through stop signs, we have lots of kids that catch the school bus,” Logan said.
