Line Painting this Week on NB Route 15 Near Gettysburg

Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that line painting is scheduled for this week on northbound Route 15 near Gettysburg.

Weather permitting, line painting will be performed during daylight hours tomorrow, Tuesday, July 1, and Wednesday, July 2, on northbound Route 15 from the Route 116 (Hanover Street) Exit to the Route 394 (Hunterstown) Exit. Work may carry over into next week if it cannot be completed by Wednesday.

Work includes applying pavement markings on the northbound Route 15 mainline and the ramps at the Route 30 (York Road) and Route 394 (Hunterstown) exits.

There will be lane closures on Route 15 and traffic shifts on the ramps during work hours.

Ramp work will require the off-ramps to be shifted northward closer to the exits. This traffic pattern will include signs to direct motorists to the appropriate exit location.

In addition to the pavement markings, an epoxy resin waterproofing will be applied to the Route 30 bridge abutments, wing walls, pier cap and columns. The contractor will utilize the lane closures for the line painting to accommodate this bridge work.

This work is part of a 14.8-mile pavement preservation project that includes diamond grinding, milling and overlaying ramps and shoulders, guide rail replacement, pipe replacement, and other miscellaneous activities on Route 15 in Freedom, Cumberland, Mounty Joy and Straban townships, Adams County.

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.

New Enterprise Stone and Lime Company, Inc., of New Enterprise, PA, is the contractor on this $ 8,318,599 project.
