ROUTE 30 CLOSURE FOR SINKHOLE REPAIR

Closure for Sinkhole Repair Project Scheduled on WB Route 30 in York County

 Work planned for weekend of Nov. 8-11; may take longer

 Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) reminds travelers that a closure is scheduled for the weekend of Nov. 8-11th on westbound Route 30 in York County so a sinkhole located along the right shoulder just east of the off-ramp to Route 74 (Carlisle Street) can be repaired. The closure is expected to last the weekend, possibly longer than that.

Weather permitting, westbound Route 30 will be closed at the sinkhole beginning at 7:00 PM Friday, November 8. The road is expected to reopen by 6:00 AM Monday, November 11, though circumstances may require a longer closure. A press release will be issued should the closure extend beyond 6:00 AM Monday. A rain date is set for the following weekend.

A detour will be in place. Travelers heading west on Route 30 should turn right onto Roosevelt Avenue and proceed north to Route 238, turn left onto Route 238 and proceed west to Route 74, then turn left on Route 74 and proceed south to Route 30.

There may be delays and congestion along the detour route. Travelers are advised to avoid the area, if possible.

This work is part of a pavement patching project that includes concrete patching, concrete paving, diamond grinding, asphalt milling, base repair, asphalt overlay, guiderail updates, ADA ramps, signs, pavement markings, and other miscellaneous construction on Route 30 from Route 74 in West Manchester Township to Interstate 83 in Manchester Township. The project also includes base repairs, milling and overlay on Roosevelt Avenue (Route 4001) from Marbrook Lane in the City of York and Manchester Township to just north of Greenbriar Road (Route 4011) in West Manchester Township.
