NORTH WHITEHALL TWP., Pa. — The Kernsville Road Bridge is getting a face-lift next month.
Come May 1, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation will begin rehabilitating the nearly 95-year-old bridge located over Jordan Creek in North Whitehall Twp., Lehigh County.
The $3,098, 957 project includes steel repairs and replacement of the deck and beams, a news release said. The bridge will be closed and traffic detoured as crews work.
"Vehicle traffic will be detoured on PA 100, Hassadahl Road, and PA 309," the release said. "The truck detour will utilize PA 100, Tilghman Street, and PA 309.
"Also as part of the project, Grist Mill Road at the intersection with Kernsville Road will be closed and detoured. The detour will utilize Shankweiler Road and Woodlea Road."
The project is expected to be completed in August.
