Harrisburg, PA – A bridge on Ridge View Road (Route 2070) in North Hopewell Township, York County, will be closed beginning next week for maintenance work. The bridge, which spans East Branch between Swamp Hollow Lane and Swamp Road (Route 2089) at the Springfield Township line, will be closed on Thursday, October 1, and is expected to open in three-to-five weeks.
