    The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invites the public to an online plans display for Ebenezer Road (Route 72, Section 067) arch culvert preservation project located over a tributary to Swatara Creek. The project is located approximately 0.6 miles south of West Jonestown and 0.6 miles north of Bunker Hill in Union Township, Lebanon County. 

    The purpose of this project is to rehabilitate the existing arch culvert carrying an unnamed tributary to Swatara Creek under Route 72 and provide scour protection.

    The project includes removing material within the culvert barrel as well as in front of the wing walls. Scour protection will be placed to protect the existing footings of the arch culvert. Additionally, the interior of the culvert and the exposed surfaces of the headwalls show signs of deterioration. The interior of the culvert barrel and the inlet and outlet sections will be rehabilitated with concrete repairs, crack sealing and concrete protective coatings. No roadwork or guide rail work is proposed for this project.

    Traffic Control for this project is anticipated to include short-term lane closures and flagging. Lane closures will be utilized as needed when relocating materials/equipment to the inlet or outlet ends of the culvert.

    The project is currently in design and construction work is expected to take place in the 2026 construction season. The duration of construction is anticipated to last 3-4 months.

    A digital version of the project plans and information will be available to view online through September 19, 2025.
