    Box Culvert Replacement to Begin Next Week on Route 30 in Lancaster County

    March 17, 2026

    Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that a box culvert replacement project is scheduled to begin next week on Route 30 in Lancaster County. The structure is located just east of Soudersburg Road in East Lampeter Township.

    Weather permitting, work will begin on Monday, March 23. A long-term traffic shift using concrete barrier will be implemented on Tuesday, March 24. Two 10-foot lanes (one in each direction) will remain open during the project. There may be periodic lane restrictions under flagging, as needed.

    Work includes replacing the existing box culvert, new guiderail and pavement markings, and resurfacing within the project limits.

    Travelers should be alert and drive with caution through the work zone.

    This bridge is the second of a two-bridge contract that also includes replacing the box culvert that carries Route 30 over Houston Run just east of Brackbill Road in Salisbury Township. This bridge was completed in 2024.

    Kinsley Construction, Inc., of York PA is the contractor on this two-culvert project. The total contract cost for both structures is $3,676,000.

    All work is expected to be completed by November 30, 2026.
