    Traffic Restrictions Next Wednesday Night on NB I-83 in the Harrisburg Region

    March 27, 2026

    Contractor to install two sign structures between Union-Deposit Road and Jonestown Road

    Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today there will be traffic restrictions next Wednesday night on northbound Interstate 83 in the Harrisburg region so two sign structures can be installed between Union-Deposit Road and Jonestown Road (Route 22). The sign structures were removed for maintenance and temporarily replaced with digital message boards.

    Weather permitting, this work will be performed from 7:00 PM Wednesday, April 1, to 6:00 AM Thursday, April 2.

    There are three travel lanes and a ramp lane in this area. The two right lanes (including the ramp lane and right travel lane) will be closed. The middle and left travel lanes will remain open for the majority of the work. However, after 9:00 PM there will be intermittent rolling stops of up to 15 minutes in the middle travel lane while the sign structures are placed on their foundations. During this time, the left lane will remain open. The backup date will be the same hours the following night, April 2-3.

    This may cause delays. Motorists should be alert and drive with caution through the work zone.

    JD Eckman, Inc., of Atglen, PA, is the contractor for this work.
