​Contractor to remove sign structure on Route 30, work is part of interchange improvement project

Harrisburg, PA - The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that nighttime lane restrictions and rolling stops are expected this week starting tonight on Route 30 for the removal of an overhead sign structure related to the Route 222/Route 30 Interchange Improvement Project.

Weather permitting, lane restrictions and intermittent rolling stops will be implemented in both directions on Route 30 between Oregon Pike and New Holland Avenue between 9:00 PM and 6:00 AM tonight, Monday, August 12, through Wednesday night, August 14.

Work tonight (Monday) and tomorrow night (Tuesday) includes removing signs, lighting and other structure attachments. The sign structure will be removed Wednesday night. Rolling stops of up to 15 minutes will be implemented as needed tonight and tomorrow night, and while the sign structure is removed on Wednesday night.

This will cause delays. Motorists should be alert and watch for stopped or slow-moving traffic.

This project includes improvements at the Route 222/Route 30 Interchange and reconstructing Route 222 from the interchange north approximately one mile near Stoner Park, which is just south of the Landis Valley Road bridge spanning the highway.

Work on the north side of the interchange includes constructing a second lane on the southbound Route 222 ramp to westbound Route 30 that will tie into the existing northbound Route 272 (Oregon Pike) exit ramp. A third lane will be added from the westbound Route 30 ramp to northbound Route 222 while extending this lane to the existing westbound Route 30 third lane approaching Oregon Pike (Route 272).

Work on the south side of the interchange includes constructing a second ramp lane from eastbound Route 30 to northbound Route 222. The new ramp lane will tie into the existing Route 30 travel lane (right lane), giving drivers using the right lane of eastbound Route 30 the option to continue east or exit to northbound Route 222.

Route 222 will be converted from four lanes to six lanes from the interchange to the north end of the project limits.

Additionally, the two bridges carrying Route 222 ramps over Route 30 will be replaced, with the northbound Route 222 bridge being widened to two lanes. The Eden Road bridge spanning Route 222 north of the interchange will remain in place. Route 222 under the bridge will be lowered to increase clearance under the bridge.
