Nighttime lane restrictions to begin July 8 on Route 322 to prepare for a traffic switch
Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that paving is planned for next week on Milroy Road at the Route 322/Chambers Hill Road Intersection Improvement project in Swatara Township, Dauphin County.
Additionally, nighttime lane restrictions are expected to begin on July 8 on Route 322 to prepare for a traffic switch.
Weather permitting, paving will be performed on Milroy Road between Grayson Road and Adams Drive from 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM Monday, July 1, and Tuesday, July 2. Traffic will be reduced to a single lane with flaggers providing traffic control. Delays are expected.
Then, beginning the night of Monday, July 8, nightly lane restrictions will be in place in both directions of Route 322 so the contractor can place barrier for the traffic switch, and perform paving, line painting and signing operations. Nightly lane closures will be in place from 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM through the month of July.
Motorists should be alert and drive with caution through the work zone.
This work is part of the reconstruction of the intersection of Route 322 with Grayson Road and Chambers Hill Road in the township.
The Route 322 signalized intersection with Grayson Road and Chambers Hill Road (Route 3006) is being reconstructed to four approaches with left-turn lanes removed from Route 322.
One through lane will be added in each direction of Route 322. Eastbound Route 322 left turns will be replaced with a new jug handle and signal at Witmer Road. Westbound Route 322 left turns will be replaced with a new roundabout and bypass lanes at the intersection with Milroy Road and Grayson Road.
Construction of three retaining walls will accommodate the widening and geometry, as well as the addition of dynamic message signs, stormwater management basins, drainage, guiderail, barrier, signs and upgraded pavement markings, and other miscellaneous construction.
This project is expected to be completed by August 18, 2027. J.D. Eckman, Inc., of Atglen, PA, is the prime contractor on this $38,561,349 project.
