Detour Planned for 82nd Street at Route 322/Chambers Hill Road Intersection Improvement Project.

10/28/2024

Harrisburg, PA - The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that a three-day detour is planned for 82nd Street at the project to reconstruct the intersection of Route 322 with Grayson Road and Chambers Hill Road in Swatara Township, Dauphin County.

Weather permitting, 82nd Street will be closed at the intersection with Chambers Hill Road at 9:00 AM Monday, November 11. The closure will remain in place through Wednesday, November 13. A detour will be in place using Spruce Drive and Ridge Avenue.

During this time, Chambers Hill Road will be reduced to a single lane between Ridge Avenue and Route 322. A flagger will control traffic at the intersection of Chambers Hill Road and Ridge Avenue. Existing signals will control traffic from Route 322, Hilton Street, and Grayson Road turning onto Chambers Hill Road.

These restrictions will be in place so the contractor can widen and reconstruct Chambers Hill Road and 82nd Street and install curbing along Chambers Hill Road.

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

After the detour and lane restriction are removed, Chambers Hill Road will include one lane for traffic from the Route 322 intersection, one lane to westbound Route 322, Grayson Road, and Hilton Street and one designated right turn lane to Route 322 Eastbound. Additionally, 82nd Street will be restricted to right turns only onto Chambers Hill Road.

This work is part of the reconstruction of the intersection of Route 322 with Grayson Road and Chambers Hill Road in Swatara Township.

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 the 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.
