Lovedale Road to Close: A nearly million-dollar project to replace a narrow bridge in Lincoln Borough will close Lovedale Road for much of the summer.

The bridge, which crosses a tributary of Wylie Run creek, is located along Lovedale Road near the intersection with Fuehrer Drive. It's being replaced by Lane Construction Co. of Thornburg under a $950,000 contract with the state Department of Transportation, says Jim Struzzi, District 11 spokesman.

Traffic will be detoured over Route 48 and Mill Hill Road in Elizabeth Township between June 1 and late August, Struzzi says. Work will be completed in mid-September, weather permitting.

The bridge carries nearly 8,000 cars daily, according to PennDOT traffic estimates.
