LANCASTER COUNTY, PA — A full weekend closure is planned at the Route 30/Route 222 interchange, as crews set bridge beams and install overhead sign structures in a major construction zone.
At a Glance
- Roads Affected: Route 30 (eastbound and westbound), Route 222 bridge over Route 30
- Dates: Friday, April 17 – Monday, April 20 (backup: April 24–27)
- Times: 9:00 PM Friday – 5:00 AM Monday (continuous closure)
- Reason: Bridge beam setting and overhead sign installation
Route 30 in both directions and the bridge carrying northbound and southbound Route 222 over Route 30 will be fully closed beginning Friday night through early Monday morning.
Drivers should expect significant detours:
Eastbound Route 30 traffic will be directed to use Route 501 (Lititz Pike) south to Route 222 south, then Duke Street to Route 23 east, and back to Route 30.
Drivers heading from eastbound Route 30 to northbound Route 222 will use Route 272 (Oregon Pike), Jake Landis Road, Butter Road, and then rejoin Route 222 north.
Westbound Route 30 traffic will be directed to take Route 222 north to Route 272 (Oregon Pike), then Butter Road and Jake Landis Road to Route 272 south, before reconnecting with Route 222 south and Route 30 west.
Drivers traveling from southbound Route 222 to eastbound Route 30 will use Route 30 west to Fruitville Pike, then Chester Road to Route 501 (Lititz Pike), continue to Route 222 south, Duke Street, and Route 23 east back to Route 30.
Plan extra time, expect delays, and seek alternate routes if possible, as congestion is expected throughout the weekend closure and along detour routes.
