​Route 18 remains closed to through traffic in Conneaut Township, Erie County due to ongoing pipe replacement work.

Work is being done to replace a concrete elliptical pipe under Route 18 between Carter Road and Crouch Road, which are located south of the Borough of Albion. A detour is posted using Route 6N, Route 98, and Route 198. 

The closure is expected to be lifted on June 14, 2022, when the work is completed.

The work is being completed by employees from the PennDOT Erie County maintenance facility.
