(Harrisburg) — PennDOT today announced that starting Tuesday, April 28, ramp closures will be implemented at the Interstate 83, Route 581 Interchange for overnight asphalt paving on the ramps to I-83 South. These ramps will be closed and detoured between 9 PM and 6 AM the following morning.
The ramp from Route 581 East to I-83 South at Exit 6-B, and the ramp from Route 581 East to Lemoyne at Exit 6-C will be closed for three nights, April 28-30. Traffic from Route 581 East to I-83 South will be directed to use I-83 North to 13th Street at Exit 44-A, make a right turn onto 13th Street, then a left turn onto the ramp to I-83 South.
