I-83 Bridge Gets $500M Federal Boost | Harrisburg News

Get ready for a major upgrade: the I-83 South Bridge in Harrisburg is getting a $13 billion makeover, with $500 million in federal funding making it happen. Construction starts in January 2027, featuring a new bridge built beside the old one—keeping traffic flowing while demolition and replacement take place over the next decade. This critical fix addresses current weight limits that force big trucks to detour, and crucially, the federal cash means PennDOT can protect other state projects. Expect two bridges side-by-side for years until the old one’s gone—and a lasting boost for regional and national infrastructure.
