White Oak Mayor Ina Jean Marton announced Monday that she received confirmation from state officials that at least part of McClintock Road will be open by the middle of next month.

The road, which cuts through the center of White Oak Park, connects North Versailles and White Oak to North Huntingdon as it intersects with Jack’s Run Road (state Route 48). It has been closed in two places for several months due to two separate landslides.
