Route 222 Ramps Reopen at Route 772 (Brownstown/Rothsville) Exit in West Earl Township, Lancaster County

Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that both the northbound Route 222 on and off ramps at the Route 772 (Brownstown/Rothsville) exit reopened earlier this morning in West Earl Township, Lancaster County.

Most of the roadwork for this project has been completed. However, lane restrictions on Route 222 may be necessary to finish the remaining items of work near the Route 772 (Brownstown/Rothsville) interchange.

This work is part of a 3.3-mile pavement preservation project on Route 222 in Manheim, Warwick, and West Earl townships, Lancaster County. This project consists of bituminous resurfacing, full-width milling, base repair, concrete patching, guide rail updates, line painting, and sign updates on northbound and southbound Route 222 from the Bushong Road overhead bridge to the Pool Road overhead bridge.

New Enterprise Stone and Lime Company, Inc., of New Enterprise, PA, is the contractor on this $8,486,591 project.
