HARRISBURG- The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that a left lane restriction is expected to be implemented soon on southbound Route 15 at the Route 30 overpass near Gettysburg in Adams County. This restriction will allow repairs to be performed on the median pier of the Route 30 overpass. This work is associated with a pavement preservation project on Route 15 from the Maryland state line in Freedom Township to Route 394 (Strivers Corner Road) in Straban Township.

The southbound Route 15 restriction is expected to be implemented as early as tomorrow, Friday, August 2, and remain in place until the end of September.

Currently, long-term restrictions are in place on two sections of northbound Route 15.

Left lane restrictions are in place on northbound Route 15 from the Maryland state line to the Route 134 (Taneytown Road) Exit, and from the Route 116 (Hanover Road) Exit to the Route 394 (Shrivers Corner Road) Exit.

The contractor is performing shoulder and guiderail upgrades, concrete road patching, diamond grinding of the pavement surface and adjacent structure repairs. In mid-September, the contractor will close the right lane and perform the same work. 

Motorists should be alert and drive with caution through the work zone.

This work is part of a 14.8-mile pavement preservation project that includes diamond grinding, milling and overlaying ramps and shoulders, guide rail replacement, pipe replacement, and other miscellaneous activities on Route 15 in Freedom, Cumberland, Mounty Joy and Straban townships, Adams County. 

New Enterprise Stone and Lime Company, Inc., of New Enterprise, PA, is the contractor on this $ 8,318,599 project. All work is expected to be completed by February 19, 2025.
