HARRISBURG – There will be nighttime lane restrictions this week on Route 30 at the Route 30/Route 222 Interchange in Lancaster County. The lane restrictions will be in place so parapets can be removed from the southbound Route 222 bridge to eastbound Route 30 to prepare it for demolition the weekend of May 10-13. There will be nightly lane closures in both directions of Route 30 at the interchange from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. today through the morning of Friday, May 10.
