Traffic to be shifted to the south
Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that a traffic shift that was expected to be completed this week on Route 322 at the project to reconstruct the intersection of Route 322 with Grayson Road and Chambers Hill Road in Swatara Township, Dauphin County, has been delayed until after the first of the year.
The contractor was scheduled this week to move and reset barrier and paint lines to shift eastbound and westbound Route 322 traffic to the south so work can be done on the north side of the highway. However, due to weather-related delays, this work is now expected to be completed the week of Monday, January 6.
Weather permitting, lane restrictions will be in place on eastbound and westbound Route 322 from 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM the nights of Monday, January 6, through Thursday, January 9.
Eastbound restrictions will be in place from east of the new jughandle at Witmer Road. Westbound restrictions will begin west of Kunkle Avenue.
Once the shift is complete, two 11-foot lanes will be open in each direction.
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 will be 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.
