​Montoursville, PA – Motorists are advised of a lane restriction this week on Route 147 southbound in West Chillisquaque Township, Northumberland County, for a soil remediation project due to a previous crash.

On Thursday, June 30, the contractor will be working on Route 147 southbound  just north of the Ridge Road intersection.  Motorists can expect the right (travel) lane and berm to be closed with traffic being controlled by single lane conditions with flagging.

Motorists should be alert, watch for slowed or stopped traffic, expect travel delays, and drive with caution through the work zone.
