🚧 I-81 Resurfacing Project to Resume in Franklin County 🚧
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that resurfacing work on I-81 in Antrim Township will resume next week, from the Maryland state line to Mile 6 in the Greencastle area. The project includes milling, concrete patching, asphalt resurfacing, guiderail updates, signage, and pavement markings on I-81 and ramps within the project limits.
🛠 Schedule
Start: Night of Sunday, March 15 (weather permitting)
Hours: 7:00 PM – 6:00 AM nightly
Direction: Southbound first, then switching to northbound
Lane Restrictions: Expect delays in work areas
🚦 Work will be in the southbound direction for several weeks, then will switch to the northbound direction with ramp closures and detours posted.
⚠ Travelers are reminded to be alert for these operations, to obey work zone signs, and to use caution when driving through work zones for their safety, as well as for the safety of the road crews.
Dog Licensing Reminder
Friendly reminder for Borough residents with dogs:
Georgia Martin, the State Dog Warden for Franklin County, shared that starting the week of March 16th, Dog Wardens may conduct neighborhood canvassing when they are already in the area responding to calls. While handling an issue nearby, they may check surrounding homes to ensure dogs are properly licensed, as required by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture.
Dog licenses are about $10 per year, but fines for an unlicensed dog can reach up to $500 per dog. Keeping licenses current not only avoids potential fines, but also helps lost dogs get home faster.
Please take a moment to make sure your dog’s license is up to date.
N. Washington Street Closure
North Washington Street will be closed from Baltimore Street to Pine Lane today.
The closure is necessary to allow for work associated with the Borough’s grant-funded Green Light Go intersection improvements project. During this time, through traffic will not be permitted in this area.
Please avoid the area and plan accordingly. Motorists are asked to use alternate routes.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
Parking Meter Updates
This week, the Borough will be upgrading the parking meters in Center Square. The new meters will continue to accept coins just like before, but they will also offer an optional QR code for convenient mobile payments.
Residents and visitors can choose whichever payment method works best for them.
Thank you for your patience while we make these improvements!
