REMINDER: Old Leechburg Road Closed Beginning Tuesday Morning

The road will be closed from May 24 through June 8 as crews repair a slide that caused the road to collapse last week.

Old Leechburg Road in Plum Borough will be closed long-term beginning on Tuesday, May 24. Traffic will be detoured using Sardis Road to Leechburg Road.

The contractor performing the $115,000 repair is Michael Facchiano Contracting Inc. of Pittsburgh. Work includes slide and roadway repairs. About 2,165 vehicles use this area of Old Leechburg Road on an average day.

The road has been restricted to one-lane traffic since rain caused the hillside below the road to collapse last Wednesday. The closure is about 100 feet long between Ross Hollow Road and Leopard Court.
