Bridge will be closed, detoured for about a month
Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that bridge repairs are scheduled to begin next week on Route 116 in Adams County. The bridge, which spans Plum Creek between Centennial Road and Oxford Road at the McSherrystown Borough/Conewago Township line, will be detoured.
Weather permitting, work will begin Monday, August 11. The bridge will be closed approximately one month so substructure and deck repairs can be performed.
A detour will be in place using Centennial Road, Chapel Road, Edgegrove Road, and Oxford Road.
The work is part of a resurfacing project on Route 116 from the intersection of Water Drive in Conewago Township to the intersection of Route 2008 (Elm Avenue) in McSherrystown Borough.
