The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that the 13th Street Bridge over Interstate 83 will be inspected next week. The inspection is scheduled for Monday and Tuesday from 9 AM to 2 PM each day. To ensure safety, lane closures will occur on southbound I-83 on Monday and northbound on Tuesday, according to a release on Commonwealth of Pennsylvania website.
Motorists driving through the area will face alternating lane closures, first on the right, then on the left. While these restrictions may be inconvenient, they are a small part of maintaining the bridge's long-term safety. PennDOT urges drivers to stay alert, follow signs, and exercise extra caution for their own safety and that of the road crews working.
For those who like to plan ahead, the 511PA service is a helpful tool. Available online and as an app, it provides real-time traffic alerts, camera feeds, and weather updates to help make travel safer and more informed. The service is free and offers access to over 1,000 traffic cameras across Pennsylvania.
PennDOT encourages locals in Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Perry, and York counties to subscribe for the latest news and traffic updates in District 8. Whether it's weather alerts or bridge inspections, staying informed is easy. For updates on completed or ongoing projects, visit District 8 Results and PennDOT Projects.
