Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that a right lane restriction in place since September 11 on southbound Eisenhower Boulevard at Highland Street in Swatara Township, Dauphin County, has been removed. This restriction was implemented to allow work associated with a safety improvement project on Eisenhower Boulevard to be performed.
The right (turn) lane from Eisenhower Boulevard heading south to Highland Street was closed so drainage upgrades and new sidewalk and ADA ramps could be constructed. The lane is now open to traffic.
This work is part of a safety improvement project on Eisenhower Boulevard from Highland Street to Lindell Road along the section of Eisenhower Boulevard that runs concurrently with Route 441.
This project consists of the installation of bicycle lanes, sidewalks and curbing, curb ramps, widening an existing turn lane, drainage work, updates to signing and pavement markings, and other miscellaneous construction.
There will be temporary lane shifts during daylight hours over the coming weeks with final paving planned during nighttime hours the last week of October.
Motorists should be alert and drive with caution through the work zone.
JVI Group, Inc., of York Springs, PA, is the contractor for this $1,864,585 project. All work is expected to be completed by May 6, 2026.
