Contractor to replace drainage, pave shoulders for future traffic shift; cross pipe to be replaced
Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today there will be nighttime lane restrictions starting next week on westbound Route 322 at the Route 322/Chambers Hill Road Improvement Project in Swatara Township, Dauphin County.
Weather permitting, the right lane of westbound Route 322 will be closed from Kunkle Avenue to Chambers Hill Road from 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM Sunday through Thursday nights starting Sunday, October 15, and continuing through the end of October. These restrictions will allow drainage pipes to be replaced and paving to be performed on the existing shoulder to accommodate a future traffic shift.
At the same time, a subcontractor plans to place a cross pipe across Route 322 on the west side of the intersection with Chambers Hill Road. One lane of traffic will be open in each direction.
This work is part of the reconstruction of the intersection of Route 322 with Grayson Road and Chambers Hill Road.
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 a 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.
