CRANBERRY, Pa. — The MSA Thruway, the tunnel that connects Interstate 79 to the Cranberry Springs development in Cranberry Township, is finally finished.
Construction of the $12 million project underneath Route 228 began in May 2020. In addition to a tunnel 29 feet below Route 228, there’s also a roundabout at the entrance of the tunnel, sidewalks and bike lanes.

This new route will take you directly over to the north side of Route 228 without any stoplights.
Cranberry officials say during the morning rush there will be 22% less traffic on Route 228, 10% less during the evening rush, and, for those getting off I-79 north, there will be 40% less traffic in the morning.
