Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that a bridge on Oxford Road (Route 1015) in Oxford Township, Adams County, is scheduled to be closed Wednesday, August 12, for maintenance work. The bridge spans the South Branch of Conewago Creek about midway between Route 394 (Hunterstown Hampton Road) and Route 30 (Lincoln Way). The closure is expected to last until mid-October.

Work includes deck repairs, milling, paving, waterproof membrane installation, rock placement, debris and sediment removal, masonry work and line painting.

A detour will be in place using Route 394, Brickcrafters Road (Route 2015), and Route 30.

This work is part of a project to perform maintenance on bridges in multiple counties in PennDOT District 8’s south central region. JD Eckman, Inc., of Atglen PA, is the prime contractor on this $6.4 million contract.

Work on this project will be in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and state Department of Health guidance as well as a project-specific COVID-19 safety plan, which will include protocols for social distancing, use of face coverings, personal and job-site cleaning protocols, management of entries to the jobsite, and relevant training.
