LANCASTER COUNTY, PA — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has announced that it will soon resume a significant resurfacing project on Route 23 in Lancaster County. The project, which spans 3.6 miles across New Holland Borough and Earl and East Earl townships, is set to restart on Wednesday, March 27, weather permitting.
Initial work will involve cleaning inlets, replacing grates, and updating concrete sidewalks and curbs. Motorists should be prepared for short-term lane closures during daylight hours within the project limits as this work proceeds.
As we approach the end of April, the project will shift gears to focus on milling and paving. This phase of the operation will take place at night to minimize disruption to the traveling public.
The Route 23 project is comprehensive, involving full-width milling, base repair, drainage replacement, guide rail updates, and construction of ADA-compliant curb ramps. Additionally, line painting and sign updates will be performed, along with other miscellaneous construction tasks. The stretch of Route 23 from Kinzer Avenue in New Holland Borough to Cedar Creek in East Earl Township will be affected.
Allan Myers, LP, a contractor based in Worcester, PA, is leading the execution of this $2,680,833 project.
The entire project is anticipated to wrap up by July 12, 2024. As always, PennDOT urges motorists to stay alert and drive with caution through the work zone. Despite the temporary inconvenience, the end result will be a smoother, safer journey for all who travel this route.
