Traffic Shift Planned at Box Culvert Replacement Project on Route 30 in Lancaster County

Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today a traffic shift is planned for this Sunday night at a box culvert replacement project on Route 30 in Lancaster County. The structure is located just east of Soudersburg Road in East Lampeter Township.

Weather permitting, from 8:00 PM Sunday, July 26, to 6:00 AM Monday, July 27, the contractor will shift traffic so the westbound side of the structure can be constructed. Traffic will be restricted to a single lane under flagging during the shift.

Once the shift is completed, two 10-foot lanes (one in each direction) will remain open. 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.
