Work to repair the road base of Harrisburg Pike in Dillsburg got under way earlier this week.

The work marks the start of a project to repair Route 74, Harrisburg Pike and Mumper Lane in preparation for resurfacing next spring, according to the state Department of Transportation.

The $2.26 million contract was awarded to Highway Materials Inc. of Montgomery County and includes roadway base repair, curb cut work required by the Americans with Disabilities Act, milling and resurfacing, guiderail and sign installation and new traffic lines.

PennDOT advises that motorists traveling in Dillsburg may encounter single-lane restrictions with flaggers directing traffic through the work zone in the borough on weekdays from now until winter sets in.

The entire project is expected to be completed in July.
