New Route 316 Bridge Project
The Route 316 bridge near Lyons Road at the state line is planned for replacement in the summer of 2010. The bridge will be replaced in two stages in order to maintain traffic on Route 316 during construction. Temporary traffic signals will be installed at the north and south ends of the construction site to allow the single lane traffic to be maintained. Postcards (Project Description) have been sent to nearby residents, fire and police departments, school districts and EMS units in the Borough and Township.
May 2010 Update - The contracting company for this project has just notified the township office that on Monday, May 17th, Baker Road will be closed from its southernmost intersection with Rt. 316 through the southernmost driveway. It will remain in effect approximately 6 months. No driveways will be blocked, and all residences will be accessible on Baker Road from the north.
Also, effective Tuesday, June 1st, Route 316 will be narrowed to one travel lane for approximately 750 feet across the bridge over the Antieam Creek. Traffic across the bridge will be controlled with traffic signals on either end. This will last throughout the construction, approximately 6 months.
