Contractor to evaluate barrier prior to barrier improvement project
Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that a rolling traffic shift is planned for this Wednesday on the eastbound or westbound direction of the Route 30 (Wrights Ferry) Bridge connecting Lancaster and York counties. This will allow a contractor to evaluate the existing barrier on the bridge in preparation for a barrier improvement project.
Weather permitting, the traffic shift will occur on Route 30 bridge from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM Wednesday, August 9. This will be a mobile operation to shift traffic from the left (passing) lane to the right (travel) lane so workers can evaluate the barrier. Only one direction will be shifted at a time.
This work could cause traffic delays on Route 30. Motorists should be alert and drive with caution through the work zone.
Work on the barrier project is expected to begin later this month. An updated press release will be issued prior to the start of the project.
JD Eckman, Inc., of Atglen, PA is the prime contractor on this $5,247,787 project. Work is expected to be completed by November 2024.
