Work Scheduled for Next Two Weeks on Route 30 Bridge over Route 15 Near Gettysburg
Lane restrictions also planned for next week on Route 15
Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that work will begin next week on the Route 30 bridge spanning Route 15 near Gettysburg in Adams County. This work is expected to take about two weeks to complete and will require long-term lane restrictions in both directions of Route 30.
Additionally, there will be lane restrictions next week on Route 15 in the Gettysburg area.
Weather permitting, on Monday May 12, the contractor will begin work on the Route 30 bridge spanning Route 15 in both eastbound and westbound directions. The schedule calls for milling on Monday, followed by deck repairs Tuesday, May 13, through Thursday, May 15, and paving on Friday, May 16.
The left (inside) lanes of Route 30 will be closed in both directions from the Royal Farms/Gateway Gettysburg area to Shealer Road near Sheetz for the duration of this work.
The following week beginning Monday, May 19, the contractor will shift traffic to the left (inside) lanes and perform milling, deck repairs, waterproofing and paving within the same limits in the right (outside) lanes. A right lane restriction will be in place for the duration of this work. There will be a 10-foot lane restriction in place while work in the right lanes is being performed due to no shoulder along the left (inside) lanes.
In addition to the work on the Route 30 bridge, alternating right and left lane restrictions will be in place from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM Tuesday, May 13, on northbound and southbound Route 15 from the Maryland state line to Steinwehr Avenue so new traffic counter loop sensors can be installed at Boyle Road just north of the Maryland line.
On Wednesday, May 14, alternating right and left lane restrictions will be in place from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM along a one-mile section of northbound Route 15 from MM 12.5 to 13.5 (approximately from the Huntertown Road overpass to about one mile north of the overpass) so traffic counter loop sensors can be installed. Restrictions will be lifted during non-work hours.

📸 80th Anniversary of VE Day
Today we stood at the World War II American Experience Museum in Gettysburg to honor the heroes who fought for freedom and peace.
Eighty years ago, the world breathed a sigh of relief as Nazi Germany surrendered. That victory was won by the unwavering courage of the Greatest Generation—men and women who risked everything to defeat tyranny.
Their sacrifice still echoes today.
We remember. We honor. We are forever grateful.
🙏 "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." — John 15:13

John Adams aptly stated, "The Bible is the best book in the whole world!" It was a true honor to participate in the Day of the Bible at the Capitol, where we celebrated the importance of this timeless text. Each Senator and Representative received a beautifully engraved copy of the Aitkin Bible, featuring their names on the cover, serving as a lasting reminder of the wisdom and inspiration contained within its pages.
