Rocky Grove Avenue to close for work

From staff reports

Rocky Grove Avenue in Franklin will be closed to northbound traffic in Sugarcreek Borough next week from its intersection with Route 322 to the intersection with Front Street.

The roadway closure is expected to be in place Monday and Tuesday, weather permitting. The closure is necessary so PennDOT employees from the Venango County facility can repair a gabion wall between the roadway and Monkey Run.

A detour will be posted using Route 322, Route 8/Route 62, and Front Street. Trucks traveling from Franklin to Titusville are advised to use Route 8.

After the wall repairs are made, Sugarcreek Borough will make repairs to the sidewalk, which is owned by the municipality.

Meadville Pike closure delayed

Meanwhile, work planned by Venango County near Meadville Pike and the closure needed for that work will be postponed until Wednesday, June 15.

A portion of Meadville Pike from its intersection with Route 322 to Bell Avenue will be closed to traffic for up to two weeks. The detour for the Meadville Pike closure will be posted using Route 322 and Patchel Run Road.
