Harrisburg, PA – Traffic is expected to be placed in its final configuration next week on State Road (Route 722) at the widening and reconstruction project at the Route 283/Landisville Interchange in Lancaster County. Traffic currently is shifted to the east side of the State Road bridge spanning Route 283. 

Weather permitting, the switch will be made Wednesday, July 14. The contractor will work from 7 AM to 5 PM eradicating and repainting pavement markings. Traffic will be maintained in each direction with brief, intermittent lane closures under flagging,

The eastbound Route 283 ramp to Landisville/Route 722 remains closed as part of the project. The ramp is expected to open by the end of the month.

In the meantime, those wishing to access Route 722 from eastbound Route 283 should continue east past Landisville, merge onto Route 30, exit at the Fruitville Pike, and follow the signs directing them to westbound Route 283.

This work is part of a $18,467,109 contract awarded to New Enterprise Stone & Lime Co., Inc., of the Village of New Enterprise, Bedford County, and includes the widening and reconstruction of State Road through the Route 283 interchange under phased construction, replacement of the Route 722 bridge over Route 283 and the bridge that carries the municipally-owned section of State Road over the Amtrak railroad tracks, installation of drainage and storm water basins, reconstruction of the four interchange ramps, traffic signal work, and installation of new guiderail, signs and pavement markings.
