Intersection at Derry, 19th and Berryhill streets in Harrisburg.
PennDOT plans to begin safety improvements on a Harrisburg roadway next week.
A construction project to make Derry Street (Route 3012) safer is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, May 28, and will include a 2.5-mile stretch of road in Harrisburg and surrounding municipalities.
Work will take place at 19th Street and 21st Street intersections, including other construction along the Derry Street corridor, from 13th Street in Harrisburg through Paxtang Borough to Rosewood Lane in Swatara Township.
The safety improvements will include milling, paving, base replacement, signs, pavement markings, ADA ramps, pedestrian facility improvements and other construction.
The $2.5 million project is expected to be completed by Dec. 3. PennDOT first announced the plan in March 2022.
Contractors will begin constructing ADA ramps during daylight hours with minimal traffic impacts anticipated during this part of the project.
Milling and paving on Derry Street is expected to begin around Labor Day. This work will be completed at night with lane restrictions and flagging.
To track road conditions, traffic warnings and speed limit information, PennDOT recommends checking 511PA.
