Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that the new on-ramp from North George Street (Route 181) to northbound Interstate 83 at Exit 22 in York County is expected to open to traffic next week.
Weather permitting, the ramp will open to traffic the afternoon of Tuesday, October 10. The existing ramp from North George Street to northbound I-83 will be closed when the new ramp is open.
The new ramp is part of a project to improve safety and congestion at the Exit 22 Interchange.
Project improvements include removing the existing ramp from North George Street to northbound I-83 and relocating it across from Skyview Drive, installing a new traffic signal at North George Street and Skyview Drive, installing a traffic signal at the intersection of North George Street and the northbound I-83 off ramp, resurfacing North George Street from the I-83 overpass to just north of Skyview Drive, resurfacing I-83 from North George Street to the Locust Lane overpass, and other miscellaneous construction activities.
