    February 19, 2026

    Indiana, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is announcing continued utility work with lane restrictions on Franklin Road (Route 3021) in Cranberry Township, Butler County.

    As part of the safety improvement project, utility work is continuing with the relocation and installation of water and gas lines between the intersections of Route 228 and Peters Road on Franklin Road (Route 3021). Work began last year and will continue through the end of May. There are multiple single lane restrictions in effect 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM with flagging operations.

    Following the utility work, the contractor will begin installing new drainage and shoulder widening. Contractor traffic impacts will be 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM.

    There will be significant impacts to traffic throughout this project, including traffic shifts, lane restrictions and road closures/detours. Drivers are encouraged to use alternate routes when possible. Additional information will be shared prior to future traffic impacts such as detour routes, changes in work times, and additional lane restrictions.
