Road was closed for large pipe replacement; detour lifted
Harrisburg, PA - The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that Route 944 (Wertzville Road) in Cumberland County, is open to traffic. The road was closed so a PennDOT maintenance crew could replace a large pipe between Peacock Drive and Deer Lane in Middlesex Township.
A detour associated with the closure has been lifted. Some finishing work remains that may require short-term lane restrictions under flagging.
