DETOUR TO THE GWA SITE
This is to give you a heads up for those planning trips to the GWA site who come through the town of Newville to get there.
Steve Wiser and Chris Semancik said that PENNDOT will be closing 3 bridges over the PA Turnpike for a Turnpike repair project starting in mid-March.
These overpasses are the ones on Middle Road, Center Rd and Doubling Gap Rd (233). It is expected to be December before they open again.
Most GWA members who come through Newville do so via the Middle Rd bridge by taking 233 to Center Rd to Creekview Rd, and turn on Middle Rd. right at the bridge.
For those coming in through Newville, you best available detour is via Whiskey Run Rd. For those who find themselves on Creekview but unable to turn on to Middle Rd due to the Bridge closing, continue straight on Creekview to Whiskey Run Rd; turn right go under the PA Turnpike and turn right on Subdivision Rd. Turn left on Middle and proceed to the site.
From the town of Newville itself, you can turn left on Steelstown Rd, which runs into Whiskey Run Rd.
If anyone misses the turn for Subdivision Rd, you can continue on to Rte 997, turn right, and then turn right on Middle by the school.
The route in from the west via 997 is not impacted by the construction.
The aerial views on mapquest show the routes pretty clearly. The site address is 516 Middle Rd.
The detour is an annoyance, but not too severe. The main thing is to ensure that everyone who comes in that way is aware of the need to detour and the available routes. It'll will be a nasty surprise trying to come in the normal way in the dark and having to find your way on your own.
Pass the word to your people for April & beyond.
