“We’re doing it late at night because, number one, it’s dark, but number two, because of the reduced traffic volumes we have on the bridge then,” said David Thompson, PennDOT District 8 spokesperson. “But it is a lighting study, so it has to be done at night.”

Traffic will be detoured using the Harvey Taylor Bridge.
