Bridge Closure Rt 715 Chestnuthill Township 5/23/16
As many of you know this bridge replacement was scheduled for last August (2015) and was delayed several times before it had to put off until 2016. We noticed that the detour signs were starting to be put up again on Rt 115 near Effort Neola Rd and spotted a supervisor and spoke to him and he advised us that the bridge replacement project will begin on Monday May 23rd and will last several months. We will attempt to get a better completion date if we can and update when possible. Below is the original post along with a new detour map.
