Patching planned on Route 322; Contractor will shift barrier to open new spur from westbound Route 322 to Hilton Street
Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that lane restrictions begin this Sunday night for pavement patching on Route 322 at the Route 322/Chambers Hill Road Intersection Improvement Project in Swatara Township, Dauphin County. The contractor also will shift barrier to open access to Hilton Street from westbound Route 322 while beginning work on the new tie-in to Milroy Road at the Chambers Hill Road intersection.
Weather permitting, beginning at 9:00 PM, Sunday, June 7, the contractor will begin work on the new tie-in to Milroy Road at the Chambers Hill Road intersection. Crews will shift barrier to open the new spur from westbound Route 322 to Hilton Street. This work will be for Hilton Street access only. Milroy Road will remain closed. Trucks and through traffic will be prohibited.
Crews will work round the clock until the tie-in is complete. This work includes raising Milroy Road to match the new Route 322 grade.
During this operation, the Route 322/Chambers Hill Road exit and entry will be reduced to a single lane, with traffic controlled by flaggers.
In addition to this work, patching will also begin Sunday night in both directions of Route 322 from Webner Road to Kunkle Avenue. There will be lane restrictions in both directions of Route 322 from 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM Monday through Thursday nights until the work is complete.
Milroy Road remains closed from the Route 322 intersection to the Grayson Road intersection to allow the contractor to complete work on Milroy Road and finish the roundabout at the intersection of Milroy and Grayson roads. A detour is in place.
To access Milroy Road, westbound Route 322 traffic will continue west to Witmer Drive, turn right and proceed to Grayson Road, turn right and proceed to Milroy Road. To access Hilton Street, eastbound Route 322 traffic should turn right onto Webner Road, left onto Chambers Hill Road then go straight to the signalized intersection with Route 322 and proceed through the intersection to Hilton Street.
Motorists should be alert and drive with caution through the work zone.
This work is part of the reconstruction of the intersection of Route 322 with Grayson Road and Chambers Hill Road in Swatara Township.
The Route 322 signalized intersection with Grayson Road and Chambers Hill Road (Route 3006) is being reconstructed to four approaches with left-turn lanes removed from Route 322.
One through lane will be added in each direction of Route 322. Eastbound Route 322 left turns have been replaced with the new jug handle and signal at Witmer Road. Westbound Route 322 left turns will be replaced with a new roundabout and bypass lanes at the intersection with Milroy Road and Grayson Road.
Construction of three retaining walls will accommodate the widening and geometry, as well as the addition of dynamic message signs, stormwater management basins, drainage, guiderail, barrier, signs and upgraded pavement markings, and other miscellaneous construction.
This project is expected to be completed by August 18, 2027. J.D. Eckman, Inc., of Atglen, PA, is the prime contractor on this $38,561,349 project.
