Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invites the public to an online plans display regarding the Route 4013 Section 018 (Pleasant View Road) bridge replacement project over an unnamed tributary (UNT) to Raccoon Creek in East Hanover Township, Lebanon County. The purpose of this project is to replace the existing bridge with a precast concrete box culvert to provide a continued safe and efficient crossing of Pleasant View Road over the tributary to Raccoon Creek.
The existing structure is a 25-foot single span, non-composite pre-stressed adjacent box beam bridge built in 1933 with the superstructure rebuilt in 1983. The existing curb-to-curb width of the bridge is approximately 26.6-feet. The roadway work associated with this project consists of the following:
- Roadway approach paving – including cross slope corrections
- Guide rail improvements
- New pavement markings
- Tree trimming
This section of Pleasant View Road averages 191 vehicles per day (vpd).
The bridge will be closed during construction, and a 7.1-mile detour will be used to direct traffic around the closure. The detour will use Jonestown Road, Route 22 (William Penn Hwy), Harrison School Road, and Mountain Road.
Overhead utilities are present at the site, and de-energization or relocation may be required at the bridge.
The project is currently in design, and construction work is anticipated to begin in Spring of 2027 and last approximately 4 months.
A plans display will be held online only. A digital version of the information will be available to view online through March 9, 2026.
Information, including bridge plans and an interactive comment form, can be found by visiting the PennDOT District 8 website, PennDOT District 8, clicking Projects Near You listed on the left side of the page, then the District 8 Projects, and choosing Pleasant View Road over Unnamed Tributary to Raccoon Creek.
The purpose of the plans display is to introduce the project and receive public input regarding any questions or concerns with the project. It is also an opportunity for the public to review and comment on the project.
