The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation has announced plans to address damage to a highway bridge caused by an oversized vehicle.
The Interstate 79 Northbound bridge near mile marker 91, which runs over East Lancaster Road, will continue to have restrictions on the passing lane until further notice. Emergency plans are being developed to temporarily support the bridge which would allow the lane restriction to be lifted until a permanent repair is completed.
Also East Lancaster Road has been closed in order to allow for repairs to the bridge above the road. Two detour maps have been posted online using Route 19 South to Little Creek Road to Yellow Creek Road then back onto East Lancaster Road.
An over-height vehicle struck and damaged the bridge on Friday, October 4th.
Motorists in the Oakland Township area should be aware of a road closure scheduled for later this week and early next week.
The Oakland Township Road Department will be closing Boydstown Road to traffic on Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Crews will be working on necessary repairs to the road.
This project will continue on Monday during the same time weather permitting.
