TURNPIKE RELATED DETOUR: The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission advises motorists that Church View Road, a township roadway located under the northbound 311 Church View Road Bridge on Interstate 476 (I-476) at milepost A49.03, Upper Milford Township, Lehigh County, is closed to traffic now through approximately Sept. 22.

The approximate five-week closure is due to planned bridge work on the Church View Road bridge that goes over Church View Road below.

During the Church View Road closure, all passenger traffic will be detoured to Acorn Road, Faith Road and Geho Road. All truck traffic must utilize State Route 2031, Dillingersville Road, and State Route 2029, Limeport Pike.

All motorists should expect higher traffic volumes on detour roads. Motorists are encouraged to plan travel accordingly. Changeable message signs will also provide information on closures and detours. Work schedules are subject to change based on weather conditions.
