Work has begun on a project to replace the existing Garrett’s Ramp bridge carrying the ramp over Route 422 in Manor Township.
The existing bridge will be replaced with a single-span steel girder bridge.

The ramp from Route 1422 to Route 422 East and from Route 422 East to
Route 1422 will close to traffic Wednesday, April 1 to demolish the old bridge and construct
the new bridge
The ramp detour will be Route 1422 to Route 422 Business to Route 422/28/66
Motorists are reminded to slow down and to be patient in the work zone. Expect
delays and congestion on Route 422 during high volume traffic periods.
