Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) alerted travelers today that the weekend closure has been postponed for the Route 147 project near Millersburg Borough, Dauphin County. This project extends from Black Shoulder Lane in Halifax Township north through Millersburg Borough to Tarry Hall Road in Upper Paxton Township.

The closure is needed so the contractor can remove and backfill an abandoned culvert.

from 20 to 30 percent accompanied by wind gusts between 20 and 30 mph.

Residents are urged to exercise caution if handling any potential
ignition sources, such as machinery, ci******es, or matches.
