Seventh Street Widening

Project Purpose

The purpose of this project is to widen Seventh Street, between Reily and Maclay Streets, from two lanes to four lanes wide. The Seventh Street Widening Project is intended to enhance ingress and egress to the Central Business District and State Capital Complex, from areas to the north and east. Specifically, this project will improve traffic flow from both I-81 and U.S. 22/322 and to divert traffic away from residential areas in north Harrisburg.

Project Scope

In addition to widening the roadway, the project scope includes new sidewalk, street trees, and streetlights along the Seventh Street Corridor and repairs to the sidewalk on the Maclay Street Bridge. The completed project will also include new traffic signals at the intersection of Seventh and Maclay Streets and Seventh and Reily Streets. It is anticipated that the project design will be complete in March 2004 and construction will continue into the spring of 2005.
