Saltsburg-Leechburg Road to Close Until May

A portion of Saltsburg-Leechburg Road in Plum will be closed starting Monday, March 14.

Saltsburg-Leechburg Road in Plum will be under construction for the next few months.

PennDOT will close the road between Unity Center Road and New Texas Road beginning 7 a.m. on Monday, March 14.

The construction is part of a $343,000 project to fix a slide on the road, and will include removal and road construction, among other improvements, PennDOT officials said.

The Golden Triangle Construction Company, Inc. of Imperial will be the main contractor.

About 4,065 vehicles pass through the roadway section daily, according to PennDOT. The transportation department expects the work to be finished by early May.

Drivers can expect to see signs to direct them. PennDOT has suggested a detour:

  • Take Leechburg Road to Saltsburg Road
  • Turn left onto Saltsburg Road and continue to New Texas Road
  • Make left on New Texas Road and continue to Saltsburg-Leechburg Road

Follow the directions in reverse if coming from the east.
