Crews have begun work to repair landslide damage on roads in White Oak and Monroeville, a spokesman for the state Department of Transportation said.
District spokesman Jim Struzzi said work began Monday to repair damage to Thompson Run Road between Lower Rodi Road and Northern Pike. Thompson Run Road will be closed long-term to through-traffic through the end of the year.
More than 6,000 vehicles use Thompson Run Road on an average day, Struzzi said. The official detour uses Lower Rodi to Business Route 22, and then Business Route 22 to Northern Pike.
Work is being performed by Plum Contracting Company.
In White Oak, crews are repairing a slide on McClintock Road between Route 48 and Muse Lane. To allow the necessary repairs to occur, McClintock will be closed through Aug. 9, weather permitting, Struzzi said.
