Sidewalk and Lane Closure Next Week on Market Street Bridge over the Susquehanna River in Harrisburg, Dauphin County

Harrisburg, PA - The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that there will be a daytime sidewalk and right lane closure next week on the Market Street Bridge spanning the Susquehanna River between the City of Harrisburg and City Island so an inspection can be performed.

Weather permitting, this work will be performed Wednesday, July 24.

The northern (upstream) sidewalk and adjacent right lane of the westbound travel lanes will be closed from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. One westbound travel lane will remain open, as well as the southern (downstream) sidewalk adjacent to the eastbound travel lanes and both eastbound travel lanes. Pedestrians attempting to cross the bridge at the closed sidewalk will be directed to cross to the open sidewalk by using the designated pedestrian at-grade crossings.

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.
