Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invites the public to an in-person open house regarding the Route 15 Section 044 Reconstruction Project in York and Cumberland counties. This four-mile project extends from Range End Road/Golf Course Road intersection in Carroll Township, York County, continues north through Dillsburg Borough before crossing into Upper Allen Township, Cumberland County, and ending north of the Glenn Bowers Memorial Bridge carrying Route 15 over the Yellow Breeches Creek.
The open house will be held from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM Tuesday, June 16, at Veterans of Foreign Wars – South Mountain Post 6771, 22 West Franklin Street, Dillsburg, PA 17019.
The purpose of the open house is to present the recommended improvements, receive input, and answer questions on an informal basis. There will be no formal presentation.
As an alternative to attending the open house, an online public plan display will be available for review and comment beginning Thursday, June 11. Public comments will be accepted through July 16.
The primary proposed improvement includes the full-depth reconstruction of existing Route 15 from the southern project limit north to approximately 600 feet south of the Glenn Bowers Memorial Bridge, with the remaining portion of existing roadway being milled and overlaid to the southern end of the bridge. The project also includes bridge preservation improvements of the existing Glenn Bowers Memorial Bridge.
Turn lane lengths are being updated to provide adequate storage length, as well as the addition of a third right turn auxiliary lane throughout the majority of the project corridor south of the Ore Bank Road/Spring Lane Road intersection.
Additional improvements include updates to existing drainage systems, stormwater facilities, guide rail, upgrade/replacement of existing traffic signals at the four signalized intersections, review of pedestrian accommodations at the four signalized intersections, and reduction of unrestricted access to businesses along the corridor.
Construction activities will be staged to minimize disruptions to traffic and maintain access for residents, businesses, and emergency services. Two eleven-foot lanes of Route 15 traffic are anticipated to be maintained in each direction during staged construction except during short-term, off-peak operations. Certain turn movements may need to be detoured at various stages of construction. Business access will be maintained at all times during business hours. Coordination will be ongoing with local municipalities, businesses and emergency responders to ensure continued access and responsiveness throughout all construction phases.
The project is currently in the preliminary engineering phase and physical work is anticipated to take place between the 2028 and 2031 construction seasons, subject to all approvals, environmental clearances, and funding availability.
Beginning Thursday, June 11, information, including plans and an interactive comment form, can be found by visiting the PennDOT District 8 website, PennDOT District 8, clicking Projects Near You listed on the left side of the page, then the District 8 Projects, and choosing Route 15 (Blue & Gray Highway) Reconstruction Project.
The purpose of the plans display is to introduce the project and receive public input regarding any questions or concerns with the project. It is also an opportunity for the public to review and comment on the project.

The reconstruction of Ore Bank Road between US Route 15 and West Siddonsburg Road is tentatively scheduled to begin in the middle of May 2026. This work is anticipated to be completed by fall of 2026. The project intends to soften the horizontal curve, widen the roadway, install turning lanes as well as curbing and drainage facilities. The road will be closed for most of this work and a detour will be posted and utilized. This project will create a safer travel condition on Ore Bank Road and will ultimately integrate with the roundabout that is currently in the design phase. We anticipate your patience and cooperation with the road closure.
The bridge is expected to be closed for up to 175 days. A motor vehicle detour will be in place, using Mountain Road (Route 4040), Route 15 and Route 74 (York Road). A bicycle detour will use Mountain Road and Dogwood Lane. The detours are expected to be lifted by November 1, 2026.
Travelers should be alert and drive with caution along the detour route.
Work under this contract includes structure replacement, guiderail upgrades and other miscellaneous construction.
JVI Group, Inc., of York Springs PA, is the contractor for this $1,125,675 bridge replacement project. All work is expected to be completed by December 18, 2026.
