4 PM Update....Roadway open.

11 AM Update... Crews arrived recently and the road will remain CLOSED for several more hours. We do not currently have an estimate for reopening. We will pass on information as we receive it.

⚠️ PUBLIC SAFETY ALERT — ROAD CLOSURE ⚠️
Emlenton Fire Department
Effective 11:00 PM Sunday, August 23 through Monday morning, August 24

State Route 268 (N. Riverview Drive / Kittanning Pike) between Emlenton and Foxburg is currently CLOSED due to multiple trees and electric lines down across the roadway.

🚨 SPECIAL ATTENTION — Residents between Jackson’s Eddy and Anton Landing:

At this time, you are unable to travel either north or south on Route 268. Trees and electric lines are down both north and south of this area, temporarily blocking travel in either direction.

FirstEnergy has provided an estimated response time of approximately 2–3 hours. However, due to the extent of the storm damage and the number of trees and utility lines involved, this could become an extended closure.

⚠️ Please do not attempt to drive around barricades or approach downed electric lines. Treat all downed wires as energized and dangerous.

Residents should plan accordingly and avoid Route 268 between Emlenton and Foxburg until further notice.

Emlenton Fire Department will provide additional information as conditions change and the roadway becomes accessible.
