PennDOT plans to close another Plum road to repair a slide, a spokesman confirmed Thursday.
Leechburg Road will be fully closed between New Texas and Unity Center roads from July 5 through mid-August, 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.
An official detour route was not yet available.
“Leechburg Road residents and businesses will have access,” Cowan said .”There will be no through traffic where the work is occurring.”
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 a slide there.
New Texas Road is expected to open on July 3, Cowan said.
