THAT FIRE THERE WITH THAT POLE. BUT HERE IS HER REPORT PUTTING A BIG PAUSE ON EVEN A BIG PROJECT. HAPPENS A LOT, PENNDOT SAYS, ESPECIALLY DURING A PENNSYLVANIA SPRING. WE CAN’T REALLY DO A LOT OF THE CONSTRUCTION WORK THAT WE HAVE PLANNED BECAUSE IT IS WEATHER DEPENDENT, AND A LOT OF THAT HAS TO DO WITH WORKER SAFETY. THE THREAT OF FALLING FROM EQUIPMENT LIKE A CRANE OR SLIPPING AND FALLING DURING SLICK OR WET CONDITIONS. IT’S AN INHERENTLY DANGEROUS WORK AND WORKING IN EXTREME WEATHER JUST ADDS TO THAT. LIKE WEATHER WE’RE SEEING NOW AND ALL YEAR ROUND, HIGH WINDS, YOU KNOW, PRECIPITATION ICING, EXTREME COLD, EXTREME HEAT CAN ALSO IMPACT THAT. AND TWO OTHER PROJECTS SET TO START TODAY, REPLACING THE BRIDGE ON GRANTHAM ROAD IN YORK AND CUMBERLAND COUNTIES. ALSO A RESURFACING PROJECT ON ROUTE 14

MANHEIM TOWNSHIP, Pa. —

PennDOT has delayed construction work on the Route 222/Route 30 interchange project due to weather conditions, emphasizing the importance of worker safety during Pennsylvania’s unpredictable spring season.

Putting a big pause on even a big project happens a lot, PennDOT says, especially during a Pennsylvania spring.

“We can’t do a lot of the construction work that we have to do because it is weather-dependent. That has to do with worker safety,” said Dave Thompson, PennDOT spokesperson.

The threat of falling from equipment like cranes or slipping and falling during slick or wet conditions is a significant concern.

“It’s inherently dangerous work and extreme weather just adds to that,” Thompson said.

Weather conditions such as high winds, precipitation, ice, extreme cold, and extreme heat can impact construction work throughout the year.

“High winds, precipitation, ice, extreme cold, extreme heat can also impact that,” Thompson said.

Two other projects scheduled to start Monday, replacing the bridge on Grantham Road in York and Cumberland counties and resurfacing Route 147 in Dauphin County, were also canceled. PennDOT hopes to resume work Tuesday.
