North Hanover Street Component

The final phase of the Carlisle Connectivity Project includes improvements to North Hanover Street, Carlisle Springs Road, and Fairground Avenue.


Carlisle SR11-SR 34 Intersection Display-2024-01-26



The intersection of Carlisle Springs Road and North Hanover Street will be realigned to bring the approach to a 90-degree angle. The intersection will also be signalized.









CCP 5 point Roundabout     



Further south will be a 5-point roundabout at the intersection of North Hanover Street. West and East Penn Streets, and Fairground Avenue. Travel through the roundabout will be in a counter-clockwise direction, similar to the roundabout constructed at North College and B Streets.







Construction Components
In addition to the signalized intersection and the 5-point roundabout, the project also includes the following:
• Rail Line Reconstruction and Signal Upgrades
• Water Main Replacement
• Stormwater Management Features
• Other Utility Relocations
• Roadway Reconstruction/Complete Street Features

Potential Impacts During Construction:
• Partial Road Closures
• Full Road Closures & Detours

• Noise and Dust

Tentative Schedule: 
March 2024 - Presconstruction Inspections and Utility Relocations to Start
April 2024 - Water Line Replacement
May 2024 - Railroad Work
August/September 2024 - PPL Work

The entire project is expected to conclude near the end of 2025. We will continue to provide an updated timeline as the work progresses.

Project Goals
• Provide safer traveling conditions along the US 11 corridor that is used as an alternate route when I-81 is shut down in the Carlisle area.
• Provide safer PA 34/US 11 intersection as PA 34 is a key artery connecting Cumberland and Perry Counties.
• Provide safer walking conditions to connect the Borough's northeast quadrant with the northwest quadrant containing the Carlisle Area School District Campus.
• Provide safer pedestrian access for elderly residents living at One and Two West Penn.
• Minimize the number of at-grade crossings of the Norfolk Southern Railroad Corridor through the Borough.
• Helps to achieve Vision Zero goals.
