Bridge to be inspected
Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that there will be daytime lane and shoulder restrictions this week on the northbound and southbound Interstate 83 John Harris Memorial (South) Bridge spanning the Susquehanna River between Cumberland and Dauphin counties so an inspection can be performed.
This work started today, Monday, October 28, and will continue through Friday, November 1, 2024, weather permitting.
The northbound I-83 right lane or southbound right shoulder will be closed from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM each day. Three travel lanes each direction and all on/off ramps will remain open each of the days.
Inspectors plan to inspect the South Bridge using an inspection crane from the roadway.
There may be lane and shoulder closures in the subsequent weeks throughout November in both directions to be announced.
Travelers are reminded to be alert for these operations, to obey work zone signs, and to use caution when driving through work zones for their safety, as well as for the safety of the road crews.
