Cable Median Barrier Project to Begin on Multiple Routes in South Central PA

This project includes the installation of approximately 29 miles of high-tension cable barrier in the median of Interstate 81 in Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin and Lebanon counties, Route 30 in Lancaster and York counties, and Route 222 in Lancaster County.

Work this year includes roadway borings and testing for high-tension cable barrier end anchor terminals. The installation of high-tension cable barrier will begin in March of next year.  

The contractor is expected to begin work along northbound I-81 in Lebanon County.

There will be left shoulder closures, as needed, during daytime operations. All other work will be inside median and will not impact traffic.

Cable median barriers are life-saving traffic devices for use in existing medians to prevent cross-over crashes. They are one of the most-effective safety measures deployed to protect motorists on highways. 

All work is expected to be completed by the March of 2025.
