Snake Snafu Delays Butler Co. Road Project

CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP (KDKA) ― A road construction project in Butler County is on hold because of rattlesnakes that no one has seen in years.

Work on Route 19 in Cranberry could be delayed for at least a year while the state looks for the Massasauga rattlesnake.

The state told Cranberry Township officials to survey the area for the creatures.

It can cost up to $10,000 for each search.

Officials say the snake has not made an appearance in Cranberry Township.

The Fish and Boat Commission was unavailable for comment.
