The Lower Macungie Township Board of Commissioners meets at 7 p.m. tonight at the township building.

The Lower Macungie Township Board of Commissioners meets at 7 p.m. tonight at the Lower Macungie Township Building.

Among the topics to be addressed will be the continued closure of the Church Lane Bridge. It was thought that once the Spring Creek Road Bridge opened, the Church Lane Bridge would, too, but it is closed indefinitely.

At the last BOC meeting Township Engineer William Erdman said he received word from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation that after a third-party inspection was performed on Dec. 20, the township has been directed to keep the bridge closed. Erdman had no further details at the Jan. 3 meeting.
