The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has announced a soil remediation project scheduled for next Wednesday, June 18, on westbound Interstate 78 in Lebanon County. The work will take place at Mile Marker 3.9, just east of the Lickdale Road overpass in Bethel Township.
Weather permitting, the remediation will occur from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM on June 18. During this time, the left lane and shoulder of westbound I-78 will be closed, while the right lane will remain open. The project involves cleaning up a diesel fuel spill resulting from a truck crash.
Motorists are advised to expect potential delays and should remain alert for slow-moving vehicles and construction equipment entering and exiting the roadway.
