Traffic is being detoured via Route 68, Smiths Ferry Road (Route 4047), and Tuscarawas Road (Route 4028). PennDOT geotechnical engineers are currently monitoring the site as the hillside continues to move. In the interest of public safety, the department will keep the roadway closed until further notice.
