HARRISBURG, Pa. — Traffic is once again flowing normally on the John Harris Memorial Bridge after the completion of maintenance work on the span, which carries Interstate 83 over the Susquehanna River between Harrisburg and Lemoyne in Dauphin and Cumberland counties, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said Tuesday.

Motorists will no longer encounter the daytime lane restrictions that were in place for this work, PennDOT said.

But there's additional repair work scheduled for the bridge later this summer or in early autumn; the public will be notified once plans are finalized.

JD Eckman, Inc. is the district bridge maintenance contractor.
