Bid awarded for Linglestown square project

According to a state Web site, PennDOT has awarded a $4 million construction bid to Leon E. Wintermyer Co. of Etters for the long-awaited Linglestown improvement project. Work crews are tentatively scheduled to start the project this month.

Based on past discussions among government officials, dirt will initially fly on the west end of the village to construct a new bypass road from Linglestown Road to Blue Mountain Parkway.

Planned improvements include two traffic roundabouts, decorative streetlights, benches, stamped concrete sidewalks and trees.
