[LNP | LancasterOnline] Route 30 lane closures in Columbia Borough on Monday

There will be lane restrictions Monday on eastbound and westbound Route 30 at the Columbia/Marietta/Route 441 exit in Lancaster County to allow for the installation of traffic management equipment.

Weather permitting, there will be left lane restrictions in place at the exit from 9 a.m. to approximately 3 p.m. so a newly installed contraflow gate, situated on the east side of the Route 30 (Wrights Ferry) Bridge spanning the Susquehanna River in Columbia, can be demonstrated, according to the state Department of Transportation.

The contraflow gate is an incident management tool that allows two single lanes of traffic to be directed onto either the eastbound or westbound Route 30 bridge should an incident occur that shuts down traffic on the opposite structure. The gate would only be used in the event of a long-term closure related to an incident.

The gate will be used in conjunction with traffic control devices to separate opposite lanes of traffic and a median crossover located on the west side of the bridge in York County.

Motorists should be alert and drive with caution.

This work was included in a project to improve the median barrier on the Wrights Ferry Bridge.

JD Eckman Inc. of West Sadsbury Township, Chester County, is the primary contractor on this $5,247,787 project.
