​Harrisburg, PA - The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invites the public to an online plans display regarding the State Route 372 (South Bridge Street) bridge replacement project. This project is located over Williams Run in Christiana Borough, approximately 20 miles southeast of Lancaster, PA. The purpose of this project is to address structural deficiencies of the bridge and provide continued safe and efficient crossing of Route 372 over Williams Run.

The project consists of replacing the 79-year old two-span reinforced concrete T-beam bridge with a two-span concrete bulb T-beam bridge. New approach pavement, sidewalks, rock scour protection, guiderail, and drainage updates will be included in the project. The overall width of the bridge and width of traffic lanes will remain unchanged. The bridge will be closed for approximately 90 days to all traffic during construction. The proposed detour route will use Water Street to Germantown Avenue.

The project is currently in design and construction work is expected to take place in the 2022 construction season. The duration of construction is anticipated to last approximately 6 months.  In accordance with Governor Wolf's COVID-19 mitigation efforts, a plans display will be held online only. A digital version of the information will be available to view online from January 29, 2021 to March 1, 2021. 

Information, including roadway and bridge plans and an interactive comment form, can be found by visiting the PennDOT District 8 website, www.penndot.gov/District8, clicking on Public Meetings listed under the Resources heading, and choosing the Lancaster County box then the tile marked South Bridge Street Over Williams Run.
