The Route 30 bridge over the Susquehanna River will have lane closures next month so workers can conduct a routine bridge inspection, according to the state Department of Transportation. Between May 1 and May 13, PennDOT will restrict traffic on the Wright's Ferry Bridge. Lane closures will take place between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on weekdays. Weekend closures will take place as needed.  The inspection requires closing the right lane and shoulder of the bridge. Only one direction of travel will be restricted at a time, PennDOT said.
