Lane restrictions for bridge deck repairs between 13th and 19th Street ramps

Harrisburg, PA – Northbound Interstate 83 will be restricted to a single lane this Saturday, May 1, so a PennDOT bridge crew from Dauphin County can repair joints and deck spalls on the bridge spanning Paxton Street in the City of Harrisburg. 

Northbound I-83 traffic will be restricted to a single lane between the 13th Street and 19th Street ramps. The left and center lanes will be closed from approximately 7 AM to 3 PM. The right lane will remain open.

Delays are expected. Motorists should seek alternate routes.

Northbound I-83 motorists should be aware that traffic also will be restricted to a single lane from 9 PM Friday, April 30, to late afternoon or early evening Saturday, May 1, in the work zone from just north of Union Deposit Road to the I-83/I-81 split. This restriction will be in place so a contractor can shift traffic to the outside lanes of the interstate.

Travelers are reminded to be alert for these operations, to obey work zone signs, and to use caution when driving through work zones for their safety, as well as for the safety of the road crews.
