The I-83 over US 30 Rehabilitation project in York, PA involved replacing deteriorated bearings and performing significant superstructure rehabilitation on I-83 over US 30. This $2.2 million project for the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation required phased construction and multiple traffic shifts to maintain two lanes in each direction and nighttime detours of I-83 to allow for superstructure bear replacement.
