Route 441 bypass - the latest



The latest on the project >> Crews are expected to begin pouring the bridge deck this week. When the deck is finished, crews will begin placing and grading the subbase for the new route. Paving is scheduled for early to mid-September.


While crews are doing the grading, drivers will see barrier removal, shoulder restoration and guiderail work on Route 30 between the river bridge and the Columbia exit. The crew hopes to be off of Route 30 by September so that a milling and paving project on Route 30 — being done by Pennsy Supply Inc. — can be finished.
