​Harrisburg, PA – PennDOT announced today that a bridge replacement project is set to begin next week on the Route 234 (Heidlersburg Road) bridge between Rupp Road and School House Road in Tyrone Township, Adams County.

A 50-day detour will be in place for vehicles using Route 34, Route 394 and Route 15. A bicycle detour also will be in place using School House Road, Frazer Road, Company Farm Road and Rupp Road.
