EPHRATA, PA — Motorists traveling through Lancaster County should expect delays next week as PennDOT conducts a scheduled inspection of the Route 222 bridges that pass over Route 322 in Ephrata.
The agency said the one-day operation, weather permitting, will take place Tuesday, December 9, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and will require left-lane closures in both directions along Route 322 between the Route 222 on and off ramps.
