Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that a bridge replacement project is set to begin this week on Eberts Lane (T-854) spanning Mill Creek in York County.
Weather permitting, the bridge will be closed tomorrow, Wednesday, April 12, so the existing county-owned bridge carrying Eberts Lane over Mill Creek can be demolished and replaced.
Traffic will be detoured. Traffic traveling northbound on Eberts Lane should turn left on Frederic Avenue, right on Sherman Street, right on 11th Avenue, to Eberts Lane.
Traffic traveling southbound on Eberts Lane should travel west on 11th Avenue, turn right on Sherman Street, right on eastbound Route 30, right on North Hills Road, and right on westbound Route 462 (Market/Harrison/Philadelphia), to Eberts Lane.
The bridge is expected to be closed until June 2024.
