Roads and Closures: Route 30 lanes close for bridge checks
What to expect on Lancaster County roads, Oct. 12 to 18: daytime lane closures on Route 30, a closed Route 222 on-ramp near Brownstown, and a Saturday parade in Millersville.
Route 30 drivers get the most to plan around this week. PennDOT will close lanes on two stretches for bridge inspections, during the middle of the day, Tuesday through Thursday.
The big ones
Route 30, Rohrerstown Road to Mountville. Crews will inspect four bridges that cross Route 30: Running Pump Road and Centerville Road in East Hempfield Township, and Stony Battery Road and Druid Hill Road in West Hempfield Township. Westbound Route 30 loses its right lane and shoulder Wednesday, Oct. 14, and its left lane and shoulder Thursday, Oct. 15, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The eastbound side follows Oct. 19 and 20. No detour is posted. PennDOT

The right lane of northbound Route 222 at the bridge over North Church Street, and the on-ramp from Route 772 at the Brownstown-Rothsville exit, are closed for expansion joint and bridge pier repairs. PennDOT's latest notice says both are closed Oct. 9 to 13, until repairs are complete. An earlier notice said the ramp could stay closed up to two weeks. Detour: southbound Route 272 (Oregon Pike) to northbound Route 222. PennDOT
