Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invites the public to an online plans display regarding the Route 230 Section 042 (Cameron Street) Bridge Replacement project over Asylum Run between Maclay Street/Arsenal Road and Muench Street in the City of Harrisburg, Dauphin County.
The proposed project will replace a poor condition bridge over Asylum Run in a two lane, two-way section of Cameron Street. This will include replacing the bridge with a new box culvert and tying into a private bridge structure to the east.
The box culvert will be constructed in stages to maintain a minimum one lane of vehicular travel and pedestrian access in each direction. Protective barriers will be installed to guide pedestrians during stages when the sidewalk will be replaced. The existing mountable median barrier will be removed to accommodate the staged construction. Signing, pavement markings, and minor drainage may be updated.
The project is currently in design, and construction work is expected to take place in the 2028 and 2029 construction seasons. The duration of construction is anticipated to be up to 24 months.
A digital version of the project plans and information are currently available to view online with public comments accepted through October 18, 2025.
Hard copy plans will also be available for review at Harrisburg City Hall, Martin Luther King, Jr. City Government Center, 10 N 2nd St, Harrisburg, PA 17101, during the dates listed above.
Information, including bridge plans and an interactive comment form, can be found by visiting the PennDOT District 8 website, PennDOT District 8, clicking Projects Near You listed on the left side of the page, then the District 8 Projects, and choosing Cameron Street Over Asylum Run.
The purpose of the plans display is to introduce the project and receive public input regarding any questions or concerns with the project. It is also an opportunity for the public to review and comment on the project.
