    July 23, 2026

    Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that night work is planned for next week on Cameron Street and Interstate 83 in the Harrisburg area, Dauphin County. This work is associated with the first contract of East Shore Section 3 of the I-83 Capital Beltway Project.

    Weather permitting, drainage work will be performed on Cameron Street the nights of Sunday July 26, and Monday, July 27. There will be lane restrictions in both directions of Cameron Street between Paxton Street and Sycamore Street from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM both nights.

    Then, for the rest of the week and the following week, night work is anticipated on I-83 between South Bridge and Paxton Street. There will be the potential for nightly lane restrictions in either direction of I-83 between 9:00 PM and 6:00 AM. 

    Work next week includes setting beams for the new 19th Street bridge spanning the interstate. This work is expected to be performed the nights of Tuesday, July 28, and Wednesday, July 29.
