The Shenango Valley Freeway (U.S. Route 62) and Budd Street will close for about 10 minutes between 5:30 and 6 a.m. Sunday to enable utility workers from Lumos Networks to stretch an aerial cable across the freeway at Budd Street, Pennsylvania Department of Transportation announced.

This low-traffic period was chosen to minimize inconvenience to the traveling public and help ensure safety, a PennDOT spokesman said.
