CONSTRUCTION – ROAD PAVING PROJECT ON BATTLEFIELD

Beginning Monday July 29, park roads on the eastern portion of the battlefield in the Culp’s Hill and Spangler’s Spring areas, Coster Avenue, and Benner Hill will be repaved. This three-month project will address road surfaces that are at the end of their lifespan.

This project requires road closures that will temporarily interrupt the ability to visit portions of the battlefield while work is ongoing. A mix of daytime and nighttime work will occur. Park roads may be fully closed, intermittently closed, or reduced to a single lane of traffic. No work is expected to occur on weekends or federal holidays, but this is subject to change due to adverse weather conditions.

Other Park roads in the area will be repaved during evening and nighttime hours and will have little to no effect on normal visitation. A road closure map will be provided, via the park website at www.nps.gov/gett, so visitors can plan their visit accordingly.

LANE RESTRICTIONS – NORTHBOUND ROUTE 15 IN ADAMS COUNTY

A PennDot news release announced that on Monday, July 15, left lane restrictions will be implemented on northbound Route 15 from the Maryland line to the Taneytown Road exit, and from the Hanover Road exit to the Schrivers Corner Road exit.

Work being performed include shoulder and guiderail upgrades, concrete road patching, grinding of the pavement surface, and repairs to adjacent structures.

In mid-September, the same project will be conducted on the right lanes of these stretches, and the lane restrictions will switch to the right lanes.

All work is expected to be finished by February of 2025.
