Mount Joy area bridge maintenance: PennDOT virtual plans display, comments end June 26
PennDOT’s virtual plans display and public comment period for the Route 772/Mount Joy Road bridge over Route 283 ends June 26, 2026, in Rapho Township.
Mount Joy-area drivers have a limited window to review PennDOT’s proposed bridge maintenance plans and ask questions before the public comment period ends June 26, 2026.
Where the project is (relative to Mount Joy)
PennDOT says the work is on the Route 772 (Mount Joy Road) bridge over Route 283 in Rapho Township, Lancaster County—about 2 miles northeast of Mount Joy.
What PennDOT says the maintenance would do
PennDOT describes this as bridge maintenance meant to extend the service life of the structure and keep a safe crossing for the traveling public.
PennDOT also identifies the outreach packet with project numbers—MPMS 119211 and BRKEY 21322—which can help residents confirm they’re reviewing the correct plan set.
Virtual plans display + public comment details
PennDOT’s virtual plans display is available online from June 12, 2026 through June 26, 2026. The public comment period runs June 12, 2026 through June 26, 2026 as well, with the window closing on June 26, 2026.
PennDOT invites residents to submit questions and concerns through the online public comment form linked from the project page.
What to look for before the deadline
- Location map + plan sheet: use these PDFs to understand exactly which crossing PennDOT is proposing to maintain.
- Traffic expectations: PennDOT says short-term and long-term traffic control is expected on Route 283, but there will be no reduction in the number of lanes.
- Maintenance scope: look for the types of repairs PennDOT lists for this project and frame your questions around those planned activities.
What happens next
PennDOT lists a proposed construction start in Spring 2027 and a proposed construction end in Fall 2027. For now, the outreach step is about letting the public review the plans and submit input before the comment period closes.
Bottom line
If you drive near the Route 283 / Mount Joy Road area, review PennDOT’s virtual plans and submit questions before June 26, 2026.
