Completed Roadwork Projects in the 106th District
Completed Roadwork Projects in the 106th District
As construction season winds down, PennDOT has recently completed several projects in the 106th District, which are detailed below. All of these projects were made possible by increased funding in the state’s comprehensive transportation plan, which I supported when it came before the House.
Repaving work on Hanover Street in Hummelstown Borough has been completed, and Cocoa Avenue in Derry Township underwent resurfacing from Spring Creek to Hersheypark Drive.
Resurfacing work, drainage and guiderail improvements, curb cuts and base repairs on Harrisburg Pike (Route 230), which runs through Middletown Borough, Lower Swatara Township and Londonderry Township, have wrapped up.
Routes 322 and 422 have been resurfaced, from the Penn Harris Interchange to Orchard Road in Derry Township. The second section of the resurfacing effort, from Orchard Road to the Lebanon County line, is expected to be completed next year.
Finally, a right turn lane has been added on Middletown Road at its intersection with the service connector road in Derry Township.

Area Trick-or-Treat Schedule and Safety Tips Offered
Halloween is just around the corner and with it comes one of the most anticipated nights of the year for children.
All municipalities in the 106th District (Derry, Lower Swatara, Conewago and Swatara townships and Hummelstown, Middletown and Royalton boroughs) will hold trick-or-treat this year on Thursday, Oct. 27, from 6-8 p.m.
I would like to remind parents and children to follow these safety tips from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to help make Halloween festivities fun and safe for everyone:
• Swords, knives and similar costume accessories should be short, soft and flexible.
• Avoid trick-or-treating alone. Walk in groups or with a trusted adult.
• Fasten reflective tape to costumes and bags to help drivers see you.
• Examine all treats for choking hazards and tampering before eating them. Avoid eating homemade treats made by strangers.
• Hold a flashlight while trick-or-treating to help you see and others see you. Always walk and don’t run from house to house.
• Enter homes only if you’re with a trusted adult. Only visit well-lit houses. Never accept rides from strangers.
• Wear well-fitting masks, costumes and shoes to avoid blocked vision, trips and falls.
