Ross Waterline Replacement Project Causing Traffic Woes

ROSS TOWNSHIP, PA - The West View Water Authority will be busy replacing waterlines in the township this summer and if you drove near the McKnight-Siebert Road intersection Wednesday you’re probably already aware of that.

The authority began replacing the water line on Siebert from McKnight to Woodland Place. Work on the $340,000 project will occur between 9 am. And 3 p.m. on weekdays. One lane of traffic will be maintained through the work zone, but motorists can expect delays lasting up to 15 minutes at a time.

Once the project is completed, PennDot will pave Siebert Road from McKnight to Thompson Run, according to the township police department.
