The Sheepford Road Bridge in Lower Allen Township is closed indefinitely following an inspection Wednesday that determined the bridge is no longer safe for traffic.
Cumberland County announced the closure in a news release Wednesday afternoon.
The bridge, which carries Sheepford Road over the Yellow Breeches Creek in Lower Allen and Fairview townships, is jointly owned by York and Cumberland Counties and has a 3-ton limit.
During the scheduled safety inspection, in accordance with the National Bridge Inspection Standards program, engineers found that several components of the bridge are in poor condition and that there is evidence of the bridge being used by overweight vehicles.
A 4-mile detour will be posted, according to the news release.
