Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invites the public to view an online plans display regarding the Route 3001 (South George Street) bridge replacement project. This project is located over a Tributary to the South Branch of Codorus Creek in York Township, York County.
The purpose of this project is to replace the bridge with a precast concrete box culvert and provide continued safe and efficient crossing of State Route 3001 over Tributary to South Branch of Codorus Creek. The span length will be increased and the roadway width over the culvert will widen slightly. Minor approach work includes new pavement, drainage, guide rail and signing upgrades. The stream will be bypassed with a temporary pump-around during construction. The proposed roadway curb-to-curb width will remain similar to the existing conditions, consisting of 11-foot lanes and 8-foot shoulders.
This section of Route 3001 (South George Street) averages 6,774 vehicles per day.
The bridge will be closed for approximately 2 months to all traffic during construction.
The proposed traffic control plan will utilize a detour during construction. A 2.4-mile car detour will use Route 3054, Country Club Road, and Route 4001, Grantley Road.
Separate truck detours will be used for northbound and southbound truck traffic. Northbound trucks will use PA 182 to I-83 to PA 74 to Route 3054, Rathton Road (4.9 miles). Southbound trucks will detour to Route 3075, Business I-83, to PA 182 with a detour length of 3.1 miles.
There are overhead utilities in the vicinity of the project that will be relocated.
The project is currently in design. Construction is anticipated to last approximately 2 months during the summer of 2028 at an estimated cost of $1,800,000.
A plans display will be held online only. A digital version of the information will be available to view online through October 19, 2026.
