Hickory Grade Road, between Parks Road in South Fayette Township and Cecil-Henderson Road in Cecil Township, is closed to traffic for approximately 18 months from May 3, 2018, until mid-November 2019, according to the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.
The 2-mile detour uses Hickory Grade Road, Parks Road, Route 50 and Cecil-Henderson Road.
The extended closure is necessary while contractor Trumbull Corp. constructs a section of the Southern Beltway and builds a nearly 300-foot-long bridge to carry traffic on Hickory Grade Road over the Southern Beltway.
