Part of McClaren Road in Findlay closes for months

McClaren Road in Findlay will close between Sabre and Resurrection roads starting at 9 a.m. Monday, according to Allegheny County’s Department of Public Works.

The road’s partial closure is expected to last for more than five months while McClaren’s Run Bridge No. 7 is replaced.
