PennDOT plans long-term closure of I-83 on-ramp; delays expected next Sunday
HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) — An Interstate 83 onramp will be closed beginning next Sunday and it'll last awhile.
PennDOT says the ramp from 19th Street to I-83 northbound in Harrisburg will close Sunday, August 24.
The closure, weather permitting, will begin at 9 p.m. and will be in place until the 19th Street Bridge is replaced and a new ramp is built.
Drivers on I-83 should expect delays Sunday night into Monday morning as well in the area of the ramp.
A PennDOT contractor will be working on sign structures in the area and there will be rolling stops of up to 15 minutes northbound. These will take place between midnight and 5 a.m.
Drivers who normally use the 19th Street ramp should take Paxton Street to 32nd Street, 32nd to Wayne, and enter Interstate 83 there.
