Nighttime closure on NB I-83 exit ramp to N. George Street; lane restrictions on N. George Street
Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that there will be nighttime traffic restrictions next week at North George Street and Interstate 83 for milling and paving operations associated with the North George Street/Exit 22 Improvement Project in York County. Weather permitting, traffic restrictions will be in place the nights of Sunday, October 22, to Thursday, October 26.
The ramp from northbound I-83 to North George Street will be closed nightly from 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM and lane restrictions will be in place on North George Street from the I-83 bridge at Exit 22 to Masonic Drive from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM.
A detour will be in place for the ramp from northbound I-83 to North George Street. Travelers should proceed north on I-83 to Exit 24 (Emigsville), then head south on I-83 to Exit 22.
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.
This work is part of a $12,358,000 project to relocate the existing on-ramp from North George Street to northbound I-83 and includes the construction of a sound wall along the ramp.
The anticipated 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.
