The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and the U.S. Federal Highway Administration will hold a public hearing Tuesday, Oct. 1, to detail the environmental assessment for the upcoming Interstate 83 widening project.
The agencies will hold the public hearing at 6 p.m. at Central York Middle School along with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Doors open at 5 p.m., and those interested in speaking can register here.
The assessment of the project covering roughly 5 miles of the I-83 corridor from Exit 19 to Exit 22 — Market Street to North George Street — details the environmental impact of the project and methods to mitigate its impact on neighborhoods.
