Sign structure to be removed as part of ramp extension project

Harrisburg, PA – Rolling slowdowns or stops are scheduled tomorrow at a ramp extension project on Route 322 in Derry Township, Dauphin County, so a contractor can remove a sign structure spanning the roadway.

This work is part of a project that consists of constructing approximately 0.5 miles of ramp extensions both eastbound and westbound on Route 322 to connect the Middletown/Hummelstown exit for Waltonville Road (Route 2005) with the Route 422/39 interchange.

Multiple rolling stops will be implemented between 9 AM and 3 PM in both directions of Route 322, with stoppages of up to 15 minutes each.

Motorists should be alert and watch for stopped or slow-moving traffic.

Work on the project also includes full depth roadway construction, milling and resurfacing, drainage improvements including storm water basins, median barrier and guiderail updates, overhead sign structure replacements, closed circuit TV camera installation, signs and pavement markings.

Hempt Bros., Inc., of Camp Hill, is the prime contractor on this $5.4 million project.
