Expect a left lane closure and traffic delays during work hours.
Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that a lane restriction will be in place this weekend on southbound Route 222 to perform work on expansion dams on the bridge over North Church Street in West Earl Township, Lancaster County. The left lane will be closed from Friday, August 14, at 7:00 PM until Monday, August 17, at 6:00 AM.
Most of the roadwork for this project has been completed. However, lane and possible ramp closures on Route 222 are necessary to finish the remaining items of work.
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.
