The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has announced there will be traffic restrictions on Sunday night, March 30, on northbound Interstate 83 in the Harrisburg region so maintenance can be performed on two sign structures between Union-Deposit Road and Jonestown Road (Route 22). The sign structures will be removed for maintenance and temporarily replaced with digital message boards.
Weather permitting, this work will be performed from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. Monday, March 31. There are three travel lanes and a ramp lane in this area. The two right lanes (including the ramp lane and right travel lane) will be closed, a press release said.
The middle and left travel lanes will remain open for the majority of the work. However, after 9:00 PM there will be intermittent rolling stops of up to 15 minutes in the middle travel lane while the sign structures are lifted from their foundations. During this time, the left lane will remain open.
This may cause delays. Motorists should be alert and drive with caution through the work zone.
JD Eckman, Inc., of Atglen, Pennsylvania, is the contractor for this work.
