Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the area

PennDOT's contractor is currently replacing the eastbound U.S. 422 bridge

The new U.S. 422 crossing is being built in three stages to keep one travel
lane open in each direction during construction. The westbound U.S. 422
structure was replaced in stage one, the eastbound U.S. 422 bridge is being
rebuilt in stage two, and the center median in stage three. Construction is
scheduled to finish in September 2018.
The new U.S. 422 crossing will be 924 feet long and 95 feet wide. The new
structures will carry two 12-foot travel lanes, a 10-foot outside shoulder
and
an eight-foot inside shoulder. The existing U.S. 422 crossing is 869 feet
long
and 72 feet wide.
J.D. Eckman, Inc., of Atglen, Chester County, is the general contractor on
