LANCASTER, PA — Drivers entering eastbound Route 30 from southbound Route 222 will face an unusual stop-and-merge condition Monday night, August 31, as crews close the acceleration lane for shoulder paving.
At a Glance
- Roads Affected: Southbound Route 222 ramp to eastbound Route 30
- Dates: Monday, August 31, through Tuesday morning, September 1

- Reason: Shoulder paving beside the acceleration lane
Traffic exiting southbound Route 222 must stop at the end of the ramp before merging onto eastbound Route 30. The acceleration lane will remain closed throughout the work period.
