Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that a contractor is scheduled to begin an emergency project on the Hill Street (Route 4007) bridge spanning U.S. 30 in Mountville Borough, Lancaster County. The bridge’s facia beam was damaged in early June by a vehicle strike.

A detour will be in effect using Prospect Road, Columbia Avenue, and College Avenue.
