Drivers should expect temporary lane restrictions on Route 143 as construction crews work on the I-78 Lenhartsville Bridge Replacement Project.<\/p>\n

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation<\/a> and Bridging Pennsylvania Constructors will implement single-lane closures during nighttime hours from Tuesday, Feb. 10 through Wednesday, Feb. 12, weather permitting. The closures will allow crews to remove overhead bridge beams.<\/p>\n

Work will occur between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. Flaggers will be present intermittently to direct traffic safely through the work zone.<\/p>\n

PennDOT advises motorists to allow additional travel time and follow posted detour signage during the closure period.<\/p>\n

The bridge replacement is part of PennDOT\u2019s Major Bridges P3 Program. The public-private partnership involves Bridging Pennsylvania Developers-I, led by Shikun & Binui Ltd. and Macquarie Capital, along with a consortium of construction firms including S&B USA Construction and FCC Construction.<\/p>\n
