Some road closure on I-81 near the Maryland state line can be expected as the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation works on northbound lanes. This work includes completing a barrier on northbound I-81 at the Milnor Road overpass.
Beginning at 7 p.m. Friday, July 10, work will begin to install a concrete barrier on northbound I-81 at the Milnor Road overpass. This work is expected to be completed by 6 a.m. Monday, July 13. A right lane restriction will be in place, which may cause delays.
Most of the work at this location will be performed at night. However, the right lane restriction will remain in place through the weekend to allow concrete used in the operation to cure.
The contractor is also expected to begin paving in the southbound direction Friday night. Once the first (binder) layer of paving is completed in two to three weeks, they will start placing final wearing course.
This work is associated with a resurfacing project which consists of milling, concrete patching, asphalt resurfacing, guiderail updates, signage, and pavement markings on northbound and southbound I-81 from the Maryland State Line to Milepost 6, including ramps located within the project limits.
.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.
New Enterprise Stone and Lime Co., Inc. of New Enterprise, Pennsylvania, is the contractor on this $17.8 million project. All work is expected to be completed by July 16, 2027.
