Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) Engineering District 8-0 invites the public to an online plan display regarding intersection improvements to Route 741 (McGovernville Road) in Manheim Township, Lancaster County.
The purpose of the project is to improve mobility and safety for the traveling public through the intersection by combining the separate intersections into a single intersection of Route 741 and Apollo Drive.
The proposed work will install a roundabout which includes horizontal and vertical alignment adjustments along both legs of Route 741, adjustments to the Route 283 eastbound off- and on-ramps and Apollo Drive, existing roadway removal, embankment grading, drainage, pavement, curb installation and signing and pavement marking upgrades. Street lighting will also be installed around and along each leg of the roundabout.
The acquisition of temporary construction easements and permanent required right of way will be required for this project to support the footprint proposed to support roadway construction and stormwater management facilities.
Construction work is anticipated to start in 2026 and finish in 2027. Traffic will be staged to complete as much construction off alignment to maintain traffic flow throughout the first stage of the project and then followed by detouring all legs, except Route 741 southbound, during the second stage of construction.
A digital version of the information will be available to view online until October 12, 2024.
The purpose of the plans display is to introduce the project and receive public input regarding any questions or concerns with the project.
