PA Turnpike to Repave Ramps at I-283/PA 283 Interchange
Overnight ramp closures with detours to be in place May 2-4
 

 

The PA Turnpike will be performing mill-and-pave operations this week on the ramps at the State Route 283 and Interstate 283 Interchange in Lower Swatara Township, Dauphin County north of the Harrisburg East Toll Plaza.

The work will require overnight closures — from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. — of the three ramps being repaired with a new, 2-inch layer of bituminous pavement as follows:

  • On May 2, crews will close the ramp carrying northbound and southbound Eisenhower Boulevard traffic onto I-283 South to the Harrisburg East Turnpike Toll Plaza.
  • On May 3, crews will close the ramp carrying westbound State Route 283 traffic onto I-283 South to the Harrisburg East Turnpike Toll Plaza.
  • On May 4, crews will close the ramp carrying northbound I-283 traffic from the Harrisburg East Turnpike Toll Plaza to Eisenhower Boulevard.

Motorists will be directed by signage to the designated detour routes, all of which include State Route 441 (Lindle Road). These dates are subject to postponement due to weather.
