PROJECT UPDATE: We have been notified by Lancaster County that the completion date for the Stonemill Drive Bridge project will be extended to Friday, November 22nd. This extension is due to unforeseen complications encountered during rock excavation for the new abutments. 

Stonemill Drive will be closed from Bossler Road to Miller Road from Monday, July 8 through Thursday, October 31, 2019 for the replacement of the Lancaster County owned bridge over the Conoy Creek. Please reference the map (click here) for project location and the official detour route.

Residents living on this section of Stonemill Drive will still be able to access their properties from either Bossler (those located west of the bridge) or Miller Roads (those located east of the bridge). Police, Fire & EMS will also still have access to all properties in a similar manner.

If your daily travels take you through this area, please find an alternate route.

As some of you may already know, Lancaster County is under quarantine for control of the spotted lanternfly, an invasive species from Southeast Asia.
