    Bridge Repairs Continue on NB Route 222 Bridge over North Church Street in West Earl Township, Lancaster County

    September 22, 2026

    Expect a left lane closure and traffic delays Sept. 25-29 until repairs are complete.

    Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that bridge repairs continue Friday night on the northbound Route 222 bridge over North Church Street in West Earl Township, Lancaster County.

    Weather permitting, the left lane of northbound Route 222 will be closed from 7:00 PM Friday, September 25, until 6:00 AM Tuesday, September 29. Expect traffic delays.

    This work zone is near the on and off ramps for Route 772 (Brownstown/Rothsville).

    Travelers are reminded to be alert for this operation, to obey work zone signs, and to use caution when driving through work zones for their safety, as well as for the safety of the road crews.

    Most of the roadwork for this project has been completed. However, lane and possible ramp closures on Route 222 are necessary to finish the remaining items of work.

    This work is part of a 3.3-mile pavement preservation project on Route 222 in Manheim, Warwick, and West Earl townships, Lancaster County. This project consists of bituminous resurfacing, full-width milling, base repair, concrete patching, guide rail updates, line painting, and sign updates on northbound and southbound Route 222 from the Bushong Road overhead bridge to the Pool Road overhead bridge.

    New Enterprise Stone and Lime Company, Inc., of New Enterprise, PA, is the contractor on this $8,486,591 project.
