Several Road Projects in Upper Mac This Week

Pothole patching will continue in Upper Macungie Township this week, according to a PennDOT release.

The work will take place near exit 49 on Interstate 78 (Route 100) with eastbound lane and ramp restrictions from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

-- In addition, PennDOT said motorists should be aware of sporadic restrictions on Route 100 north between Spring Creek Road and Alburtis Road today from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Motorists should be alert for a series of three traffic stoppages to allow workers to place beams on the new Route 100 bridge over Lehigh Creek. Each stoppage is expected to last no longer than 15 minutes. The work is part of a bridge replacement project that began June 8 and will last through November.

Route 100 south will remain closed and detoured for the duration of this project. The posted detour for PA 100 south utilizes Spring Creek Road and East Penn Avenue/Alburtis Road. 

-- Elsewhere, pothole patching will also take place on Schantz Road between Route 863 and Route 100 today and Tuesday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.

-- On Wednesday and Thursday, milling and paving work will slow traffic on Seipstown Road/Church Street Route 863 and Old Route 22 from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
