Drivers may face delays overnight next week on a heavily traveled road in Dauphin County.
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said a contractor will begin work at 6 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 26, on Eisenhower Boulevard from Highland Street to Lindell Road along the section that runs concurrently with Route 441 in Swatara Twp.
The work will continue 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. “the rest of the week” before continuing the project during the day for several weeks, PennDOT said.
“There will be temporary traffic shifts and short-term closures under flagging, as needed, during work hours. This may cause delays. Motorists should be alert and drive with caution through the work zone,” PennDOT said.
This $1.8 million project includes the installation of bicycle lanes, sidewalks, curbing and curb ramps. The work also includes widening an existing turn lane, drainage and updates to signs and pavement markings.
PennDOT said all of the work on the project is expected to be done by May 6, 2026.
