PennDOT in Butler County is urging motorists who typically use McCalmont Road in Butler Township to seek an alternative route this morning.

The road was closed overnight after a large truck got stuck under a bridge that travels over the road and caused serious damage Monday evening and remains closed this morning. Officials report a crane will will need to be brought in to remove the vehicle, and Canadian National Railway just arrived on scene with a crew.

Steve Kernic with PennDOT in Butler County advised that the road will remain closed for most of Tuesday as officials assess the damages.

The accident occurred about 5:20 p.m. Monday when a large truck got stuck underneath a railroad trestle bridge on McCalmont Road near the Connoquenessing Creek, about halfway between Route 8 and Meridian Road.
