CONSTRUCTION TO BEGIN ON THE SR 130 BRIDGE OVER THE PA TURNPIKE 2/22/2012
This morning I met with representatives from Plum Contracting Inc, the
company that will be performing the re-construction of the SR 130 bridge
over the Pennsylvania turnpike in Penn Township. They inform me that
construction will begin on March 5th, 2012 (weather permitting) and last
up until November 2012.
Work will be performed 5 to 6 days a week from roughly 7am to 5pm.
Occasionally, night time work will take place.
Changing traffic patterns will continue throughout the work period in
order to facilitate the two phased bridge construction, roadway paving,
and traffic signal upgrades. This project has been designed to allow for
continuous 2 way traffic along SR 130 throughout the construction project.
Officials from Plum Contracting Inc have pledged to keep me informed of
any changes that may take place througout the project so that the motoring
public can be notified and affected as little as possible.
Any questions or concerns should be directed to Plum Contracting Inc at
724 668-8000.
