Road closure in Plum
PennDOT plans to close a Plum road to repair a slide.
Leechburg Road will be fully closed between New Texas and Unity Center roads from July 5 through mid-August, PennDOT spokesman Steve Cowan said.
Traffic on the road has been restricted since June 9, when a temporary traffic signal was placed near Elicker Road because of a slide that was beginning to undermine the roadway.
Leechburg Road has been part of the posted detour route for the closure of New Texas Road, between Old Leechburg Road and Rosemary Hill Drive, where crews from A. Liberoni are repairing damage from a slide.
