The Rapid Bridge Replacement Project continues in Monroe County with the start of reconstruction on a bridge in late August.
Merwinsburg Road (PA 3009) bridge over Pohopoco Creek in Chestnuthill (JV-191) is scheduled to close the week of August 29, 2016. A detour will be posted using Route 115 and Jonas Street (PA 3016). Construction of the bridge will be performed by Walsh Construction II, and will take approximately 10 weeks to complete.
The bridge was built in 1941 and averages over 3,700 vehicles a day.
