SALISBURY TWP, PA — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that traffic will be shifted this evening as part of a box culvert replacement project on Route 30 in Lancaster County. The structure carries Route 30 over Houston Run, just east of Brackbill Road.
Weather permitting, at 9:00 PM on May 30, the contractor will begin placing additional barriers and resetting existing ones to shift traffic onto temporary pavement on the south side of the bridge. This work will restrict traffic to a single lane with flaggers providing traffic control. The barrier work is expected to be completed by 6:00 AM on Friday, May 31.
Upon completion, traffic will shift onto the temporary pavement, allowing two lanes to open. A 10-foot lane restriction will remain in place on the bridge. In addition to replacing the structure, the project includes approach work, guide rail, drainage upgrades, and other construction activities.
Motorists are advised to drive with caution through the work zone. The culvert work is expected to be completed by November 24, 2024.
This is part of a two-structure contract that also includes replacing a box culvert on Route 30, just east of Soudersburg Road in East Lampeter Township. Work on the second structure is scheduled to begin next spring.
Kinsley Construction, Inc., of York, PA, is the contractor for this $3.676 million project.
