LITITZ, Pa. — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced Tuesday that a road in Lititz Borough that had been closed as part of a major resurfacing project is back open to traffic.
The portion of Water Street near the Norfolk Southern railroad crossing that had been closed so the tracks could be removed and repaved is now open, PennDOT said.
The closure was part of a 1.5-mile resurfacing project on Route 772 (Main Street) from Route 501 (Broad Street) eastward to the Lititz borough line.
The project also included work on Water Street from Route 772 (Main Street) to the Warwick Township line, PennDOT said.
The contractor will continue ADA curb ramp work on Main Street. There will be traffic shifts or single-lane traffic restrictions during daylight hours with flaggers assisting motorists through the work zone.
No lane closures are permitted from 6 to 8:30 a.m. every day and from 3:30 to 6 p.m. on Fridays.
Once the curb ramp work is completed, the contractor will perform base repairs, milling and paving throughout the project limits.
Access will be maintained on Water Street for the pedestrian walkway and trail at Lititz Run Bridge, and at the New Street Park Nature Trail at the Santo Domingo Creek bridge.
JVI Group Inc., of York Springs, is the primary contractor on this $1,260,025 project. Work is expected to be completed by May 19.
