​Harrisburg, PA – A detour associated with an improvement project on North Union Street in Lower Swatara Township, Dauphin County, is scheduled for this weekend. 

Weather permitting, the contractor will begin the second phase of full-depth pavement reconstruction operations for North Union Street between the Route 283 interchange and Fulling Mill Road. A weekend detour will be in place from 7 PM Friday, April 30, to 5 AM Monday, May 3.  

North Union Street traffic wishing to access Fulling Mill Road or westbound Route 283 from the south side of the closure should travel east on Route 283, exit at Vine Street, take westbound Route 283 to North Union Street, or continue on westbound Route 283.  

North Union Street traffic wishing to continue south from the north side of the closure should take Fulling Mill Road west to southbound Route 441 (Oberlin Road), to North Union Street.

This project is associated with a Highway Occupancy Permit (HOP) and includes improvements on North Union Street from the PA 283 eastbound on-ramp to just north of Fulling Mill Road.
