Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invites the public to an online plan display regarding the Interstate 81 bridge rehabilitation. The purpose of this project is to address the poor condition of the bridge and provide continued and efficient crossing of I-81 over T-545 (Stonehouse Road) in Dickinson Township, Cumberland County.
The project consists of the rehabilitation of two 61-year-old prestressed concrete spread box beam structures. The proposed bridge widths will accommodate two 12-foot lanes with 10-foot outside shoulders and 6-foot inside shoulders. Stonehouse Road will be closed for approximately six (6) months to all traffic during the construction. The proposed detour route will use Route 11 to T-466 (Mooredale Road). Single lane closures will be required on I-81 during the construction.
The project is currently in design and construction is expected to take place in the 2026 construction season.
Plans display will be held online only. A digital version of the information will be available to view online from November 27, 2024, to December 27, 2024.
Information, including bridge plans and an interactive comment form, can be found by visiting the PennDOT District 8 website, www.penndot.gov/District8, clicking Projects Near You listed on the left side of the page, then District 8 Projects, and choosing SR 0081 over Stonehouse Road.

It is also an opportunity for the public to review and comment on the project’s potential effect upon Cultural Resources pursuant to the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation’s 36 CFR Part 800 regulations implementing Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.
