Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invites the public to an online plans display regarding the May Post Office Road (Route 2015) culvert replacement project over an Unnamed Tributary to Little Beaver Creek in Strasburg Township, Lancaster County. The purpose of the project is to replace the existing culvert pipe array.
The existing structure was built in 1976 and consists of three corrugated metal pipes. The overall structure length is approximately 19 feet.
The existing pipe array will be replaced with a buried precast concrete box culvert with precast end sections. Additional work includes utility relocations, reconstruction of the pavement within the project limits, minor roadway geometric adjustments, guide rail upgrades, and rock placement around the wing walls for scour protection. The roadway width over the proposed culvert is 30 feet between faces of guiderail.
This section of May Post Office Road carries a daily traffic volume of 5,209 vehicles per day. Environmental activities completed include a wetlands study, environmental due diligence form, and an historic eligibility survey for one property.
Construction is estimated to begin in the spring of 2027 and take approximately 6 months to complete. The bridge will be closed to traffic. The proposed 3.7-mile detour will use Weaver Road, Bunker Hill Road and Shaub Road. Access to all driveways within the project limits will be maintained during construction.
A digital version of the project plans and information are available to view online with public comments accepted through November 24, 2025.
