PennDOT has announced a closure starting next week for a bridge in East Wheatfield Township.
From February 3rd to July 23rd, crews will work on replacing the bridge that carries Wherum Road Mardis Run. Crews from Merlo, Inc. will implement the closure with a detour on Wherum Road at the intersection with River Road.
The $3.93 million bridge project is expected to wrap up in April of 2027. PennDOT’s suggested detour is below.
When traveling from the south side of the closure to the north side: Traffic will use Route 2013 (Wehrum Road), head south to Route 22 (William Penn Highway), travel west on Route 22 (William Penn Highway) approximately two miles and take the exit to Route 403 (Cramer Pike). Make a left off the ramp onto Route 403 (Cramer Pike) and head north for approximately six miles to the stop sign at Pagano’s Equipment Services store. Make a right at the stop sign onto Route 2013 (Rexis/Wehrum Road), stay on this road for six miles and it will bring traffic to the northern side of the closure.
When traveling from the north side of the closure to the south side: Take Route 2013 (Wehrum/Rexis Road) north six miles until you reach Route 403 (Cramer Pike) near Pagano’s Equipment Services, make a left onto Route 403 (Cramer Pike) and head south for approximately six miles to Route 22 (William Penn Highway). Take the on-ramp heading east, stay on Route 22 east (William Penn Highway) for two miles and make a left onto Route 2013 (Wehrum Road), to the south side of the closure.
