The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invites the public to view an online plans display regarding the Route 3038 (Bridge Valley Road) bridge replacement project in Martic Township. The project involves replacing the bridge carrying Bridge Valley Road over an unnamed tributary to the Susquehanna River approximately a half-mile south of the Village of Pequea. The purpose of this project is to address deterioration of the bridge and provide continued safe and efficient crossing over the tributary. The project scope consists of replacing the existing 86year-old, single-span reinforced concrete slab structure with a single-span precast concrete arch bridge. New approach pavement, rock scour protection, and guide rail installation will also be included in the project. The total paving width will be 28 feet to accommodate two 10foot-wide lanes and two 4foot-wide shoulders. The bridge will be closed to all traffic for approximately three months during construction. The proposed detour route will use Route 324 (Pequea Boulevard) to Route 3017 (River Road). The project is currently in the design stage, and construction work is expected to take place in the 2023 construction season. A digital version of the information will be available to view online through Monday, Feb. 7. Information, including roadway and bridge plans and an interactive comment form, can be found by visiting www.penndot.gov/Regional Offices/district-8, clicking on Public Meetings listed under the District Links heading, choosing the Lancaster County box, and then clicking on Bridge Valley Road Bridge. The purpose of the plans display is to introduce the project and receive public input regarding any questions or concerns about the project. The project documents can be made available in alternative languages or formats if requested. To do so, contact Peter Roman, PennDOT project manager, at peroman@pa.gov or 717705-6187.
