PITTSBURGH — A year-long construction project on McKnight Road in the North Hills is underway.
The more than $25 million improvement project, which is focused on a long stretch of McKnight Road between Venture Street in the city of Pittsburgh and Perrymont Road in McCandless, was originally scheduled to begin on Feb. 5.
PennDOT said work was postponed due to the weather forecast and cold overnight temperatures.
