Drivers using Franklin Road between Beacon Hill and Peace Street should plan for alternating single-lane traffic during the week of October 19, according to a Cranberry Township alert posted October 18. Flaggers will control traffic, and the township recommends an alternate route to avoid delays.¹

The alert identifies the affected stretch and the week of work. It does not give a daily work schedule or say the road will be completely closed. The distinction matters when planning a trip: the published restriction is alternating traffic, rather than a full closure.¹

The work is part of PennDOT's Franklin Road Corridor Safety Improvement Project. A separate township project notice describes drainage, turning lanes, shoulder widening, edge-line rumble strips and sight-distance improvements. That notice, originally posted June 3, lists early November 2027 as the project's current completion target. It is background on the broader project, not a guarantee that this week's traffic controls will last until then.²

For the latest local change, check the official alert before traveling. This report covers the October 19 week specified in the alert; it does not establish restrictions for later weeks.
