At a Glance
- Roads Affected: Hollow Road
- Dates: July 6-8, 2026
- Times: 7:00 AM-4:00 PM

According to PennDOT, Hollow Road will be closed between Route 29 (State Road) and Charlestown Road from Monday, July 6, through Wednesday, July 8, weather permitting.
During the closure, drivers will be directed to use Route 29 (State Road) and Charlestown Road to travel around the work zone.
Local access will be maintained throughout the project, but motorists should expect delays and increased traffic along the detour route. Plan extra time for travel and seek alternate routes when possible, particularly during morning and afternoon travel periods.
The closure is necessary to allow crews to safely replace a pipe beneath the roadway and improve long-term drainage infrastructure in the area.
All scheduled work is weather dependent and may be adjusted if conditions warrant.
Drivers traveling through the corridor should remain alert for detour signage, changing traffic patterns, and construction crews working near the roadway.
