A portion of West Pike will be closed for the final full week of July as crews work on replacing a bridge and culvert in White Township.
PennDOT has announced that starting July 24th and going through the 31st, Philadelphia Street West Extension will be closed between Wolf Drive and Colonial Toyota to allow for the removal of the Claypool Heights Bridge, the replacement of the culvert and roadway reconstruction.
