    Project start was delayed due to cold overnight temps

    Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that a resurfacing project is set to begin next week on Route 222 in East Cocalico and Brecknock townships, Lancaster County. Work will be performed at night. This project was initially expected to begin this week, but work was postponed due to cold overnight temperatures.

    The project limits are from just south of Lausch Road in East Cocalico Township to the Berks County line in Brecknock Township and includes the four ramps at Col. Howard Boulevard (Route 272/Denver/PA Turnpike Exit).

    Weather permitting, work will begin Tuesday, April 11. There will be lane closures during nighttime hours. Motorists should be alert and drive with caution through the work zone.

    This project includes milling, concrete pavement patching, overlay of the existing roadway, guide rail, pavement markings, signing updates and other miscellaneous construction from Lausch Road to the Berks County line and the interchange ramps to Colonel Howard Boulevard.

    This project is expected to be completed by October 27, 2023. New Enterprise Stone and Lime Company, Inc., of New Enterprise, PA, is the prime contractor on this $8,529,957 project.
