UPDATE: PennDOT says flood debris removal will also take place from noon to 4 p.m. Wednesday on I-80 west between Route 147 in Northumberland County and Route 15 in Union county – which is the Milton and Lewisburg exits. There will be a lane restriction.
PACKER ISLAND – More long traffic delays are expected in Sunbury today. Route 147 will be blocked occasionally on the Priestley Memorial Bridge near Northumberland.
PennDOT says they’ll be flagging traffic as they use heavy equipment to lift flood debris from the front of the bridge piers. Monday, they were 45-minute delays and long traffic lines on Front Street, and Shikellamy Avenue in Sunbury.
PennDOT says the work is part of a multiple bridge flood debris removal project in Montour, Columbia and Northumberland counties. An unannounced project on the Veteran’s Memorial Bridge last week led to hour-long delays in Sunbury.
