The acceleration lane will be closed; Traffic from SB Route 222 to EB Route 30 must stop at the end of the ramp before merging onto EB Route 30
Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that the southbound Route 222 ramp to eastbound Route 30 will be placed in a stop condition Thursday night at the Route 30/Route 222 Interchange Improvement Project in Lancaster County.
The stop condition will be in place so the shoulder adjacent to the acceleration lane from the southbound Route 222 ramp to eastbound Route 30 can be paved. The acceleration lane will be closed.
Weather permitting, this work will be performed from 9:00 PM Thursday, August 27, to 6:00 AM Friday, August 28. Vehicles from southbound Route 222 must stop before merging onto eastbound Route 30. This may cause delays.
Travelers should be alert and drive with caution through the work zone.
This work is associated with the Route 30/Route 222 Interchange Improvement Project.
This project includes improvements at the Route 222/Route 30 Interchange and reconstructing Route 222 from the interchange north approximately one mile near Stoner Park, which is just south of the Landis Valley Road bridge spanning the highway.
Work on the north side of the interchange includes constructing a second lane on the southbound Route 222 ramp to westbound Route 30 that will tie into the existing northbound Route 272 (Oregon Pike) exit ramp. A third lane will be added from the westbound Route 30 ramp to northbound Route 222 while extending this lane to the existing westbound Route 30 third lane approaching Oregon Pike (Route 272).
Work on the south side of the interchange includes constructing a second ramp lane from eastbound Route 30 to northbound Route 222. The new ramp lane will tie into the existing Route 30 travel lane (right lane), giving drivers using the right lane of eastbound Route 30 the option to continue east or exit to northbound Route 222.
Route 222 will be converted from four lanes to six lanes from the interchange to the north end of the project limits.
Additionally, the two bridges carrying Route 222 ramps over Route 30 will be replaced, with the northbound Route 222 bridge being widened to two lanes. The Eden Road bridge spanning Route 222 north of the interchange will remain in place. Route 222 under the bridge will be lowered to increase clearance under the bridge.
