Dear East Penn School Community,
Please be aware of an upcoming road closure that will impact travel and school district transportation. The PA Turnpike Commission has announced the complete closure of Lower Macungie Road, which includes the bridge over the Turnpike, to complete the final tie-ins for the new bridge as part of the Turnpike widening project. The closure dates are Monday, October 13 through Monday, October 27, 2025 as long as the project remains on schedule.
All school bus routes that typically use Lower Macungie Road will be affected by this closure. Detours will be in effect and we ask you to please be patient as we expect there may be some delays in both the morning and afternoon.
Anyone who drives students to school should plan for a longer commute and use the official posted detour routes. Drivers should consider leaving earlier than usual to ensure timely arrival at school.
Please plan ahead, follow posted detours and exercise patience during this road improvement project.
