​Butler, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), is announcing a traffic signal replacement project along Route 8 (Main Street) from Pittsburgh Road to Penn Street within the City of Butler.  The project will begin at 8:00 p.m. on January 10, 2022 and continue through the Summer of 2022.

It is anticipated that most work will be performed during the nighttime hours.  Nine signals will be upgraded with new ones.
