Please be advised that Rick Road will be closed to traffic on Tuesday, July 9, for a pipe replacement project. The closed area is at the turn in the road near West Leesport Road. The remainder of Rick Road will be open to local traffic. The project is expected to take one day to complete. Bad weather before or on July 9th may affect this schedule.
Attached is a map showing the location of the road closure and the suggested detour route for traffic by traveling on West Leesport Road – Old Bernville Road – Fairview Drive. Click here to see map.
At this time there is a major construction and renovation project at the
Bern Municipal Building.
This work is expected to last a few more months.
So please be patient if there is a lot of background noise, like jack
hammers, when you telephone.
It may be difficult for us to hear you, and we may have to move to a quieter
part of the building to handle your call.
Thank you!
