U.S. Route 22/322 is an important component of the central Pennsylvania
transportation network, moving people and goods between Harrisburg and State
College.
As Harrisburg-bound daily commuters, truckers, weekend college football fans, hunters and vacationers, swelled daily volumes of traffic to an average of nearly 30, 000 vehicles (20% of which are trucks), residents found their lives increasingly constrained by the intrusion of more traffic than the highway could safely handle. June 8, 1998 marked the start of construction for the long-awaited project. The contract included work beginning at Rout 443 and extending west 3.2 miles to jus beyond Hagy Lane in Middle Paxton Township, north of Dauphin Borough. Construction under the second contract, extending4.3 miles west from the vicinity of Hagy Lane to near the Clarks Ferry Bridge, began August 17, 1998. Construction of the Dauphin Bypass was completed and open to traffic on November 22, 2000. This project has truly resulted in safety improvement of local, regional and statewide proportions. |
