Line Painting Scheduled on I-81 in Cumberland County
Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that line painting is planned on a 12.3-mile resurfacing project on Interstate 81 in Cumberland County.
Line painting will be performed on northbound and southbound I-81 from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM Thursday, December 9, Friday, December 10, Monday, December 13, and Tuesday, December 14. Work is scheduled during the day due to cold nighttime temperatures.
This will be a moving operation. Motorists should be alert, drive with caution and be on the lookout for slow-moving vehicles.
This work is part of a pavement preservation project which includes milling, resurfacing, base repairs, concrete patching, guiderail upgrades, pavement markings, and minor bridge work on I-81 in Southampton, Shippensburg, South Newton, and Penn townships. The work limits for this project are from the Franklin County Line in Shippensburg Township to the Kutz Road bridge in Penn Township, Cumberland County.
