PORT ROYAL -- Due to wet, rainy weather, the closure of the Route 75 bridge in Port Royal has been delayed until Thursday.
The bridge had been scheduled to close today. PennDOT anticipates the bridge being closed through June 30 while the contractor demolishes and replaces portions of the superstructure, which spans the Norfolk Southern Railroad.
While the bridge is closed, drivers will follow a detour using Route 3002 (Old 22 Road/Main Street), Route 35, and Route 333 back to Route 75. Homeowners in the immediate vicinity of the bridge will be able to access their properties. Any work remaining after June 30 is expected to take place under traffic.
Preliminary work started in mid-September with the demolition of a two-story building on Second Street in Port Royal. Overall work on the project involves partial removal of the existing structure and construction of its replacement, approach paving, drainage improvements, water and sewer line replacements, sidewalk and guide rail replacement, pavement marking and miscellaneous construction. HRI, Inc. of State College is the contractor on this $4 million project.
