Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that work beginning next week on the Route 222 North (Lime Street) resurfacing project in Lancaster City, Lancaster County, will require parking restrictions for the next several weeks within the project limits. Daytime lane restrictions also will be in place.

Weather permitting, work will begin Thursday, July 6. The contractor will work from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM Mondays through Fridays. Initial work will consist of base repairs. This should take about a week to complete, after which milling and paving will be performed. This work is expected to be completed by Friday, August 4.

There will be parking restrictions during work hours. 

There will be single lane restrictions of up to 2,000 feet in length on Lime Street with flaggers providing traffic control at intersections. Motorists should avoid the area and consider alternate routes during work hours.

This work is part of a project that consists of milling, paving, base replacement, ADA updates, pavement markings, signal upgrades, and other miscellaneous construction on Route 222 North from the five-point intersection at Church and Vine streets to E. Liberty Street in the city.

Base repairs, milling and paving will be completed this year. Lane closures with a 10-foot width restriction will be in place during this part of the project. 

Motorists may encounter lane closures and traffic shifts during daylight hours. No traffic restrictions will be in place during Barnstormer baseball games.
