Nighttime Lane Restrictions Planned for Next Week at Route 322 Intersection Project in Dauphin County

06/14/2023

The signalized intersection with Grayson Road and Chambers Hill Road is being reconstructed.

Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that nighttime traffic restrictions are planned for next week so tree clearing can be performed on eastbound Route 322 and westbound Grayson Road (Route 2019) in Swatara Township, Dauphin County. This work is part of a project to reconstruct the intersection of Route 322, Chambers Hill Road (Route 3006) and Grayson Road.

Weather permitting, the right lane of eastbound Route 322 will be closed between Mushroom Hill Road and Chambers Hill Road, and the westbound lane of Grayson Road (Route 2019) will be closed between Milroy Road and Hilton Street between 9:00 PM and 6:00 AM next week. 

Motorists should be alert and drive with caution through the work zone.

Over the next month, crews will be clearing brush, installing erosion and sedimentation measures, and removing some billboards along Route 322, Milroy Road, Witmer Drive, and Grayson Road.

Following the Independence Day holiday, workers will begin setting regular short-term nighttime traffic restrictions, starting at 9:00 PM, to reconstruct the roadway shoulders for a future long-term traffic shift. 

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.
