Beams to be set on Strickler Road bridge spanning westbound lanes of Route 283 the weekend of August 16-19
Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) reminds travelers that a closure is planned for this weekend on westbound Route 283 so beams can be set on the Strickler Road (Route 4045) bridge spanning the westbound lanes of the highway in Rapho Township, Lancaster County. The bridge was closed to traffic last October due to a vehicle strike.
Weather permitting, westbound Route 283 will be closed from 8:00 PM Friday, August 16, until 6:00 AM Monday, August 19.
Motorists traveling westbound in Route 283 should exit at the Mount Joy/Route 230 Exit, then take Route 230 west through Mount Joy Borough to Cloverleaf Road, then turn right and proceed to the Cloverleaf Road Interchange and westbound Route 283.
A detour currently is in place for Strickler Road using Route 772 (Mount Joy Road), Breneman Road and Zink Road.
