Contractor to construct new drainage, curb, and pave
Harrisburg, PA - The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that a traffic switch is planned for next week on Milroy Road at the Route 322/Chambers Hill Road Intersection Improvement project in Swatara Township, Dauphin County.
Weather permitting, on Tuesday, April 30, northbound traffic on Milroy Road will be shifted from the east (northbound) side of the road to the median so the contractor can construct new drainage, install curbing and pave. This will be a long-term traffic configuration between Grayson Road and Adams Drive. Grayson Road and the Grayson Road/Milroy Road intersection will remain in their current configuration with the intersection controlled by stop signs.
Motorists should be alert and drive with caution through the work zone.
This work is part of the reconstruction of the intersection of Route 322 with Grayson Road and Chambers Hill Road in the township. The contractor will pave the shoulders of westbound Route 322 from Bridge Road to Witmer Drive to strengthen them for future traffic shifts.
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.
