The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that starting on or about June 17, 2025, there will be a bridge closure and detour for the Route 741 (Millersville Road) bridge rehabilitation project in Lancaster County. The bridge spans the Conestoga River between Rice Road in Lancaster Township and the entrance to Circle M Campground in Pequea Township.
See the map below for the full detour route. Portions of Route 741 before and after the bridge will remain open for local traffic. This detour will be in place until mid to late August and then the road will be opened to normal operations with possible daily lane closures. Construction on this project should be completed by mid-September.
Understanding that this detour will take more vehicular traffic east bound on Millersville Pike, residents are encouraged to plan for potential delays when trying to leave the Borough in this direction. The Borough will be monitoring this detour closely and will be keeping residents informed of any changes coming from PennDOT.
See our first post for more information on this project.
