The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that a major bridge preservation project is set to resume next week on multiple bridges and ramps on Interstate 81 and Route 22 in the City of Harrisburg and Susquehanna Township, Dauphin County.

Beginning Monday, March 27, the contractor will begin stage 2 of the project. This work includes painting the bridge carrying traffic from eastbound Route 22/322 to northbound I-81 (Ramp C) and the bridge carrying westbound Route 22/322 over I-81. This work will be performed daily from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The contractor will also replace expansion bearings on abutments of the bridge carrying westbound Route 22/322 over I-81, which will consist of jacking the superstructure, performing concrete repairs of the pedestals, and placing new bearings. This project is expected to be completed by October 27, 2023.  If there is a need to impede traffic it will happen over the overnight hours.
