County: Lebanon 
Municipality: Jackson Township 
State Route: Route 422 
Local Name: Lincoln Avenue 
Project Type: Bridge Rehabilitation 
MPMS Number: 119212 
Proposed Construction Start:  September 2026

Last Updated: March 2026

The project includes the bridge rehabilitation of Route 422 bridge (Lincoln Avenue) over Owl Creek in Jackson Township, Lebanon County. The purpose of this project is to provide a continued safe and efficient crossing on Route 422 over Owl Creek.

Within the project area, Route 422 is a three-lane roadway including a lane in each direction and a two-way turning lane. The project is located on flat terrain and the roadway is classified as an Urban, Other Principal Arterial. The land use surrounding the roadway consists of agricultural lands and several business properties. The roadway within the project limits has a posted speed limit of 55 miles per hour and an average daily traffic volume of approximately 10,000 vehicles per day. 

The existing structure was built in 2022 and is a single-span prestressed concrete spread box beams. The bridge length is 42’-0” and has a curb-to-curb width of 56’-0”.

The project involves superstructure rehabilitation including scarification of the existing deck, installation of polyester polymer concrete overlay, mechanical texturing of deck, and painting of pavement markings. The horizontal geometry of the roadway will remain unchanged and the vertical geometry may be increased slightly.  

Route 422 will not be detoured during construction. Construction is anticipated to be accomplished using short term lane shifts of traffic.

The project is currently in design, and construction is expected to take approximately 4 months at this site.  The exact construction timeline is not currently known, but construction is currently anticipated to begin in the Fall of 2026 or Spring of 2027.

The purpose of the plans display is to introduce the project and solicit public input, questions, or concerns regarding the project.​
