Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that traffic is expected to be shifted this week on Cornwall Road (Route 2001) at the project to realign the Wilhelm Avenue/Cornwall Road intersection in the City of Lebanon and North Cornwall Township, Lebanon County.
Weather permitting, on Wednesday, June 5, the contractor will shift traffic to the southbound side of Cornwall Road so full depth reconstruction can begin on the northbound side.
Traffic will be reduced to a single lane under flagging while the shift is being implemented. Once the shift is completed, one lane of traffic will be open in each direction on Cornwall Road.
During the course of this project, there may be traffic disruptions and single lane patterns under flagging Mondays through Thursdays after 8:30 AM and Fridays between 8:30 AM and 3:30 PM.
Motorists should be alert and drive with caution through the work zone.
There will be a short-term closure for paving, which is expected to occur later this year. A press release will be issued prior to the closure.
The project includes the realignment of Wilhelm Avenue to create a 4-way signalized intersection with York Street and Cornwall Road. Improvements will involve sidewalk connectivity improvements, ADA compliant curb ramps, bike lane accommodations, drainage improvements, lighting, and other miscellaneous construction.
All work is expected to be completed by September 11, 2024.
H&K Group, Inc., of Skippack, PA, is the contractor on this $1,842,599 project.
