Penn-Dot spokesman Steve Cowan said on Tuesday that the section of Freedom-Crider Road between Route 989 and Freedom-Lovi Road in New Sewickley Twp. will be closed to traffic in mid-February and will remain closed until August. It’s part of an $80 million Freedom Road upgrade project that started two years ago. There will be road alignments and new intersections. The exact detour for the 6,000+ vehicles that travel this road daily, has not yet been determined.
