Line painting planned for Interstate 81 in Cumberland County | The Sentinel: News


HARRISBURG – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation plans to paint lines on a 12.3-mile resurfacing project on Interstate 81 in Cumberland County starting this week.

Line painting will be performed on I-81 north and south from the Franklin County line in Shippensburg Township to the Kutz Road Bridge in Penn Township. It is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday and Friday and December 13 and 14. The work is scheduled during the day due to the cold temperatures at night.

Motorists should be alert, drive with caution, and be on the lookout for slow-moving vehicles, PennDOT said.

This work is part of a pavement preservation project that includes milling, resurfacing, base repairs, concrete patching, railing upgrades, pavement marking and bridge work on I-81 in the townships of Southampton, Shippensburg, South Newton and Penn. The work boundaries for this project are from the Franklin County Line in Shippensburg Township to the Kutz Road Bridge in Penn Township, Cumberland County.

The work is expected to be completed by October 2022.

New Enterprise Stone and Lime Co. Inc. is the prime contractor for this $ 26.48 million project.
