Pavement Repairs Scheduled for Next Week at 8th Street and Maple Street in City of Lebanon

Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that pavement repairs are planned for next Tuesday at the intersection of 7th Street and Maple Street in the City of Lebanon, Lebanon County.

Weather permitting, work is expected to begin at 6:30 AM Tuesday, August 5, and be completed by the end of the day.

The work will start at the intersection and extend west about 120 linear feet toward 8th Street in the eastbound lane only.

Work includes milling and asphalt paving in the eastbound lane. There will be lane restrictions under flagging. Trucks are advised to avoid the intersection as this work will make turning maneuvers difficult.

Motorists should be alert and drive with caution through the work zone.

This work is associated with the replacement of the Route 72 (Ebenezer Road) bridge spanning Swatara Creek between Jonestown Road in Union Township and New Bunker Hill Road in Swatara Township.

The bridge opened to traffic last December. The repairs planned for next Tuesday will address deterioration that occurred to a section of the detour route during the bridge closure.

Susquehanna Valley Construction Corporation of New Cumberland, PA, is the prime contractor on this $4,961,250 bridge replacement project. Subcontractor JVI Group, Inc., of York Springs will perform the repairs next week.

This project consists of replacing the existing structure, minor roadway reconstruction, guiderail improvements, and drainage improvements.
