The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that this week its contractor will restrict Interstate 83 to a single lane near Exit 4 to paint lines, set barrier, and shift traffic to the outside lane and shoulder in preparation for construction of the interior sections of the I-83 bridge over Route 851, the Deer Creek culvert, and the left lanes and shoulders of the interstate.

According to a press release sent out Monday, I-83 traffic is currently shifted toward the median while the outside portions of the structures and interstate are being reconstructed.

The contractor will shift southbound I-83 traffic overnight Tuesday between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. and northbound I-83 traffic on Wednesday between those same times.

This section of I-83 averages more than 44,300 vehicles traveled daily, the release said.

Flaggers will assist in shifting traffic on Route 851 between I-83 and Mt. Airy Road on Thursday night, according to the release. This section of Route 851 averages more than 16,000 vehicles traveled daily.

This work is part of a $29.9 million Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI) construction contract awarded to Kinsley Construction, Inc. of the City of York, York County, according to the release. The project includes replacement of the northbound and southbound bridges that carry I-83 over Route 851 with two-span structures that will allow enough clearance for Route 851 to be widened to four lanes and realigned into the DDI configuration. Work under this contract will also lengthen and reconstruct the on and off ramps within the interchange and replace the culvert that carries Deer Creek beneath the interchange.

Two lanes of traffic will be maintained in each direction along I-83 during construction except for short-term off-peak lane closures to adjust traffic patterns. PennDOT expects the project to be completed by next summer.

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, according to the release.
