Beginning on June 27, Wheatland Road will be closed to through traffic from the intersection with Route 318 in West Middlesex to the intersection with Route 718 in Shenango Township in Mercer County. 

The road is expected to reopen July 1, as long as the weather doesn't interfere with the project.

The closure is occurring because a pipe near the Route 718 intersection needs replaced.

PennDOT said motorists should slow down when driving in work zones, be alert for changing conditions, avoid distractions and pay attention to signs and flaggers.

For updates on roadway conditions, 511PA's website provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information and access to traffic cameras.
